I don't think this is what is meant by "System Blue," but I'm good with it.

I'm interested in learning more about that horn configuration. Is that a shoulder strap within the horn? A name/type or links to pictures/info would be appreciated.

What would be special about this mouthpiece? Looks like an old German one, maybe the Kölner type.

The instrument looks like the Herculesophone type of helicon.
