Just a bit of interesting information about my 1955 Howarth S2 English Thumb Plate Oboe. It weighs 118 g lighter than the S55c Dual System which suits me just fine. The S55c was 704 g and the S2 is 586 g. The S2 is a bit heavier than I expected but the keywork is solid sterling silver and the blackwood is of the older denser type with more 'heft' that is not often seen these days because the older quality Mpingo (Ebony) is just about depleted apparently. Interestlingly , it's still 'up for sale' on Richard Craig's site. He needs to update what's for sale. But it's good to have it still up there because you can still look at the pictures of it.
