Beautiful Hawkes, Ken! Yes, I've often seen Hawkes floating around in various shops and no one seems to know enough about them. What's your sound impressions on yours? Great Panormo-ish shapes to them.

Didn't I read a post of yours once that talked about them being made for the British military bands? Perhaps that would be a good direction for further research?

Thank you for always expanding the collective DB knowledge base.

PS Mazel Tov! on the Big English Gamba Beast, I can just about hear it from N. Jersey
