After a long separation, I am reunited with my Holton Mammoth helicon. I had Martin Wilk give it more than a little overhaul. He redid my 4th valve, blending in a York piston with the original valve set. It works sooooo much better than the thumb rotor system I previously had. He also reconfigured most of the slides and installed his neck system. A new valve job, too, and it's now unbelievable.

Here's a video of a Sear etude. I don't play perfectly, but the horn does:

Here are some pictures of the horn after the work, too:

Thanks, Martin! Now I'm even more excited for the Martin/Buescher tuba project. Can't wait!

Awesome! Love it.

Superb!

Good playing. Must be fun on that nice helicon. That's a horn you will enjoy for years to come. Ace

What a nice horn. Looks like Martin did a first rate job! Love the sound - Big & Rich! (not the country group)

Fantastic!
