Hi. I have been playing a Hawkins for a few years, an older model prior to the B an S distinctions. I have tried many different ligatures with my mouthpiece, but i have always come back to a regular Bonade ligature. The only other ligature I particularly like with it is an old Rovner Light I have. I feel the Bonade regular gives a little more clarity and center, particularly in orchestra playing. I put the ligature just below the top stripe (.5 mm or so below) and tighten the top screw a little more than the bottom one. I think due to the concavity in the table this enables the reed tip to be slightly more open.
