Re: Hawkins B, R or G?

I just recently received the 'G' model from RH and have been using it for about a week. First impressions was that it felt very natural out of the box. What does that mean? Free blowing, low resistance, incredibly stable in the altissimo register, colorfully warm, very expressive in executing a wide scope of dynamic contrasts.
If you like the 3 - 4 range in reed thickness, this might be your best bet. My set up includes a Buffet R-13 silver with a moennig barrel and ishimori ligature.

best,
