Military Serpent
Keith is looking particularly happy and proud in this picture and with good cause:
after a lot of work (mental as well as physical) he had finally brought to fruition the project that
Christopher Monk had been unable to see through: the first modern copy of a military style bass serpent.
This instrument is copied from the original of c.1840 by Francis Pretty.
Photographed outside the New Cross (South London) workshop 1994
A wonderful and memorable day.
