I found an Eb helicon first and then the BBb body. Had the bell transfered and then had him make a reproduction of a York goose neck which is tapered wih a set of Holton fitted bits. It plays like a dream!

1920 York BBb Helicon restoration by the BrassLab
Another great job of restoring this 1920 JW York BBb Helicon by Chuck Mac Alexander at the Brasslab.
I found an Eb helicon first and then the BBb body. Had the bell transfered and then had him make a reproduction of a York goose neck which is tapered wih a set of Holton fitted bits. It plays like a dream!
