We have a dying breed of thumbplate/dual system players in Australia, and I suspect a large number of them were actually UK immigrants (the ones I know certainly are). The older instruments are turning up for sale in music shops as these players pass on or retire, and my department just retired (after not using for many years!) a whole batch of thumbplate beginner oboes. We have taught conservatoire exclusively for about 4 decades.
I played a Howarth open-hole (though conservatoire system) oboe built in 1953 while awaiting delivery of the Marigaux. What a beautiful, warm, stable instrument this was! I hope you have much joy with your EH, JRC!
