[hammerhead48]

Rescued from recycling. Very old and dirty. Need work. I offered the helicon to JW Pepper and they will not respond.

I am not looking for money, just someone who would appreciate these historic instruments, need work, will send pictures.

Vince Simonetti at the tuba museum in NC might be interested in it.

Just so you're aware, I spoke with a friend of mine who worked at Pepper until recently, and he said there have been numerous layoffs and furloughing of employees over the past handful of months - including my friend, who would have been the one to connect with about an historic instrument. It sounds like the company is really struggling during the pandemic.

I sent you a message. I live in Cleveland, so it would be great to bring that horn back to its birthplace! On top of that I'm an instrument repair technician, and I'd love to show it off at Cleveland State University's yearly tuba day in the museum. Let me know if you're interested!
