 Re: How to choose English horn / Cor anglais

The RIEC cors are like the Howarth S40c cors in they're a slightly simplified version of the pro models - so they may not have all the same features and various steps in production have been rationalised to keep the cost down.

I'd suspect, like the S20 and S40 cors, they probably have the same bore as the pro model Rigoutat cors but may not have as many (or any) undercut toneholes.

I've only ever tried a RIEC oboe (which was a full Gillet conservatoire instrument) and that played as good as any pro model. I never saw any other makes of student model cors while at Howarth apart from their own S20, S20c and S40c cors.
