Hi-
While browsing, I noticed Dillon's has 3 vintage silver 3 piston helicons--a BBb Boston, and two Eb's--a Conn and a Keefer---if anyone is looking for an old helicon, he's got 3 in stock-FYI-

If anyone is looking for an old helicon, look at Dillon's

Re: If anyone is looking for an old helicon, look at Dillon'
The Boston is butt-ugly, the slides are stuck, and one of the valve stems is bent (first??) It's certainly not pretty, and it would be a project horn. It probably will be a good horn after some time, effort, and maybe not too much money. It actually sounded pretty good in its current shape. It was tempting, but simply not something I want to take on.
