Howarth make two models with almost full Gillet conservatoire system (everything except for the D#-E split ring) - these are the narrow bodied S40c and the wide bodied S45c, the keywork is the same on both in that they all have the same system (with LH F, articluated low C# and bell vent as standard) - though the individual key pieces are slightly different due to the different diameter joints.

The narrow bodied S40c has relatively the same diameter joints as you'd find on a Loree AK, Marigaux 901, Yamaha, etc - and the same diameter joints as used on Howarth S10, S20 student model oboes, and the pro S2, S3 and older (pre-1990) S5 oboes.

The S45c has the thicker joints as found on the later S5 and XL oboes - and has more resistance and a darker tone compared to the narrow bodied oboes.

Howarth's site seems to be down at the mo, not sure what the problem is - otherwise I'd post some quick links on here.

But if you are interested in these, hang on until the exchange rate is in your favour (strong $ to a weak £).
