You don't see too many 4 valve helicons anymore, even if it is an Eb.

Re: Old Beat up Helicon
Yeah.... I had a bid on it too. Had a gig tonight and forgot to put a 'snipe' on it. It was listed as "pick-up only" but it might have been worth the 300 mile trip for me to pick it up.tubatom91 wrote:Damn it! I was the highest bidder to the LAST SECOND.
Someone may have gotten the 'deal of the day'.

Re: Old Beat up Helicon
How are you getting back down south Bloke? If you've still got a bunch of blokepieces on hand I'd glad snatch one up with the money I was going to buy this helicon for.
