| Howarth of London is a company specialising in the manufacture and retail of woodwind instruments and associated accessories. The company was formed in 1948 when its first oboe was produced, and continues to produce instruments today. The first oboe, serial number 1001, was purchased by Edward Selwyn, who at the time was principal oboist for the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Today the Howarth XL, the professional model, is played by soloists and orchestral players around the world, including Gordon Hunt, Roy Carter, Martin Schuring, Emily Pailthorpe and many more. |

First built in 1950, the S5 Oboe was our original professional model. It has proved an ever-popular choice for the advanced musician, and has developed over the years to reflect changing tonal styles and requirements. The current S5 is a thick-walled oboe offering you fine tuning and a large, powerful sound. The S5 models remain the benchmark upon which the Howarth reputation for quality has been built. Many of the greatest recordings have been and still are made using instruments from the S5 range. This time-proven range of instruments are admired in oboe sections the world over.

In 1995 Howarth began to develop a prestige model oboe with a completely new bore and tone hole structure. Working in collaboration with world-class players, our craftsmen have created an instrument with a more focussed sound, and unparalleled intonation and projection. The XL found immediate success in the greatest orchestras, and in the hands of the world’s finest soloists, and it remains first choice for discerning oboists across the globe. The flexibility of the XL appeals to both the professional and the accomplished amateur, and is prominent in many leading youth orchestras.
