I'd say that Richard Craig wouid just about have my Howarth S55c Dual System serviced by now and I'd say he'd be asking around $4000 for it. It is a beautiful Oboe but it is heavy with mechanism. The only thing it doesn't have is a 3rd Octave key which I don't think is really necessary. Of course you'd have to relearn the fingering for C and Bb in both octaves which is no big deal. The real beauty of the Dual System is that you can use both the Thumb Plate and Conservatoire system fingering. From what I can remember , the conservatoire Bb was slightly better in tone than the Thumb Plate Bb and the Thumb Plate C had a better tone than the conservatoire C
