Hawkes Cavalry Tuba

Just purchased a 1912 Hawkes Emperor 4v non compensating Cavalry style E flat tuba in reasonable condition.

Needs a good clean but has nice tight valves. A few dents to remove and a part missing 4th. valve slide to be made up.

It blows beautifully, so easy and in tune with a great clear bottom register.

The 1912 Hawkes 4v E flat Cavalry tuba got its first real polish today, not too bad;
