🎚️ Help Bring Zappy Back to Life — Frank Zappa’s Actual Trident 80B Console

I’m Corey, owner of The Hawkins Sound Ranch, a recording studio and creative retreat nestled on 43 acres just outside Prince George, British Columbia.

I’m also now the caretaker of something legendary:

Zappy — Frank Zappa’s original Trident 80B recording console.

This isn’t just the same model. This is his actual board—the centerpiece of his Utility Muffin Research Kitchen studio. From there, it was used on countless sessions and passed through multiple hands… until she found her way home, right here in the BC interior.

Now, I’m building a studio not just around her—but for her.

Shares & support mean the world.

I'm Corey, and I'm building something special—The Hawkins Sound Ranch, … Corey Hawkins needs your support for Resurrecting a Legendary Console In The BC Woods
