Finish вЂ“ Silver plated with a silver bell and crookДЄn excellent description of a Hawkes & Son XX Century tenor can be read on shwoodwindвЂs site.Дo you own high C instruments? Am I wrong to avoid them? Have you ever played one live? Let me know by commenting on this article.ДЄ simple, but unique idea - supply the description, review what the horn is like to play, weigh it and provide a video of what it sounds like.

PlaceВ of Manufacture вЂ“ Edgeware, London, UK.

The existence of well-made instruments in London in the 1930s suggests that some of them remained behind perhaps. Conn for instance persuaded French makers based in London to move to Elkhart, Indiana to work for his company. Saxophone making was a specialist craft and the in early years many of the makers travelled the globe. Hopefully it has now formed part of collection of a non-player, because it is excellently well manufactured. Having the disappointment of acquiring an unusable instrument I didnвЂ™t blow it. It also has a fascinating octave mechanism, which can be seen in the photos. It has an interesting вЂHвЂ™ decal on the side of the key protector to the low f# trill key.

As I can find no reliable information on the dating of these instruments IвЂ™ve decided to date it as 1932 вЂ“ just before Hawkes & Son ceased to exist.ДЄctually the horn was in surprisingly good condition (or perhaps not so surprising as no one could have played it in tune with any modern instrument). The XX Century model was the main one made by the company up until the time it merged with Boosey to form the company Boosey and Hawkes in around 1934. Under this are the words вЂHawkes & Son, makers, Denman street, Piccadilly Circus, London W, 58XXXвЂ™. The engraving on the bell says вЂXX CenturyвЂ™ above a picture of an eagle and globe. It is a silver plated brass alto, with a silver bell. Sell the instrument on its historical importance, but not on its playability. My advice to those selling them is to make sure the fact that itвЂ™s a вЂhigh CвЂ™ is listed right at the top of the advert. IвЂ™m not personally against owning вЂhigh CвЂ™ horns, but IвЂ™m not going to pay proper saxophone prices for them. OhвЂ¦ and to avoid purchasing a high-pitched Hawkes look for the вЂ#вЂ™ or вЂHвЂ™ (bad) and вЂbвЂ™ or вЂLвЂ™ (good) markings by the serial number. I had some trouble getting a refund for this sax, but took some photos, which I think are useful for those thinking of owning a Hawkes XX Century horn. If I had I might have been more tempted to keep it. Looking at the pictures now I realise that I completely failed to see that this horn had a solid silver bell and neck вЂ“ like a King Silversonic. While pitch is possible to adjust for stringed instruments, it canвЂ™t be changed for brass and saxophones, where the length of the tube dictates the frequency of the notes. Many instrument manufacturers from the nineteenth onwards made high and low pitched instruments. For those of you who donвЂ™t know, concert pitch was not always the standard 440Hz in is today. Although I collect saxophones, IвЂ™m really not interested in them if theyвЂ™re unplayable with other musicians, which is true of all вЂhigh CвЂ™ instruments. I never took much interest in the instrument when it arrived, because it was immediately evidently that it was a вЂhigh CвЂ™ and unplayable in tune. I saw this in an eBay auction and put a bid on it. Hawkes and Son made saxophones in their factory in Edgeware near London. A Couple of years ago I was looking to add a good English saxophone to my collection.
