Sorry edisonplayer, I've got to go along with brianu --- photos would be nice/needed for accurate ID, as several Sonora models fit this vague description:
The sides are straight,and the front is serpentine.

How good is the sound on these Sonora's?

What type of motor do they use? The Heinemann?

Swiss motors in the ones I've seen- the large ones are from Palliard. Nearly all the components were Swiss, the cabinets being American made.

Sound- they can be very nice, and the larger the horn the better.
