Preowned Howarth XL VT Oboe #7660A

New in 2017, this oboe has been gently used and is in perfect condition with no cracks or condition issues.  It comes in it's original Howarth case with case cover.  This is the only instrument we've seen with a letter on the serial number, quite unique!  We suspect that the same number was accidentally stamped on two instruments, so this one had the A added to differentiate it.  It does not imply that this is a different model than the typical XL, quite the opposite!  This oboe has excellent projection and a creamy low register.
