Oboe - Howarth S10 thumbplate system

The classic Howarth of London's S10 oboe with original hard carry case included.

Oboe was serviced in October 2026 including realignment and regulation and is in good working condition.

This was my first Oboe that I got new when I was 10 years old, and saw me through to Grade 6 when I upgraded. Now (20 years later) it is ready for a new student to enjoy.  

The instrument does have some minor signs of wear on the key plating (pictured), but has been stored in a cool dry place and has no damage/cracks/splits or repairs to the wood. It has had replacement corks over it's life but not in the last 5 years.

Been cared for well.
