I'm using Howarth S45C....
The oboe is extrememly good! It is a professional model.It gives a lovely tone , although the instrument is a bit heavier than others as the wood is thicker-->to have a better sound! I believe you have an idea on Howarth oboe as you have one..
You can try the Howarth S40/45C...^^

loree, marigaux, fox, howarth, yamaha, rigoutat, adler, santoni, prestini, laubin, all make great oboes. try to explore and try as many as you can. If that is not possible and you do have the money, pick up more advice from other forums or websites and choose your model.

Any of the professional models of any brand are probably good, but I would stick with the more well known ones. Of course there is Loree, but I've played on a couple and they're nothing more special than any of the other models. I play on a Buffet Greenline, and I know most americans are pre-biased by the Tabuteau regime against this oboe, but I find it has more color in the lower and upper registers than do other oboes, so I chose that one. Not to say that the Loree isn't a fabulous instrument, it is, but I prefer the buffet, that's all. But really anything: Marigaux, Rigoutat, Buffet, Howarth, Covey, Laubin...the list goes on.

When choosing an oboe you should also take into consideration the climate of where you live. I live in Alaska so during the winter its extremelly dry and cold, but in the summer its hot and dry. From my experience of playing with wood and plastic oboes, living in my conditions, I prefer the half wood half oboe professional fox models. If you are to ever purchase a half or full plastic oboe make sure you follow the proper procedures to make sure you are getting a good oboe. The good but bad thing with plastic oboes is when you buy it, how it sounds then is how its going to sound for a very long long time. With wood oboes the tone quality improves over time the longer its been played.
