Matched Pair of Howarth S1 Clarinets
An extremely fine condition matched pair of Howarth S1 clarinets, which are a commission sale for Clarinets Direct. These instruments have had only one amateur owner and have seen hardly any use, they are in near mint condition.
The unstained Grenadilla wood is in pristine condition, with no cracks or damage. There is no joint wobble. All the fish skin pads though used are sealing well. The key work shows no wear or play to the mechanism. The Silver plating throughout is excellent. The Bb has matching serial nos. are 1192, & the A, matching serial nos. 1194. The supplied m'pieces are both used Vandoren B40. The tuning and scale evenness are very consistent with standard French bore m'pieces. In addition to the original Howarth barrels and adjustable "click" plastic tuning barrel is included, which was used on the A of the pair. The original case and case cover are both in excellent condition.
