Oboe:
Howarth XL
Price: £5500
Bought new in 2018, this is a lovely instrument that has been serviced by Yanko Petrov about a year ago but hasn’t been played much since as it became my backup. It has a lovely tone and feels quite accommodating across the range of the instrument.
In terms of service history it’s been with Howarths, Fiona Stevenson and Yanko, and I’ve really rarely had problems.
This was my main instrument from 2018-2024/5, got me through my Undergraduate and Postgraduate degrees and then played professionally until I bought my current main instrument in 2025.
Please get in touch if you are interested and I can supply audio samples if necessary! Based in West Midlands but am in London fairly frequently.
