 How Many Of Us Play Howarths?

UK or worldwide, I'd just like to know how many people on here play or own Howarth instruments.

And why did you choose a Howarth over the other popular makes?

Just to add, I've played solely on a kingwood Howarth S5 oboe since 1999 which replaced a Yamaha 821TP Custom which I bought when one came up for sale (an ex-demo model from Yamaha), and the Howarth is far easier to get on with - better intonation and response, and better keywork. Though I can't complain that the Yamaha was by any means a bad instrument, it's just the fact there are much better oboes on the market than these, and this Howarth suits me fine.

I do play Yamaha saxes (62s and 875s) and swear by them - the Custom 875 (and EX) are flawless.

(ISP in United States, but I'm in West Sussex, UK)
