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

The brass looks like it might be too brittle to salvage, but who knows.

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.

Someone may have gotten the 'deal of the day'.

it's some guy that's bid on 136 items in the last 30days....sounds like it's on the way to "a restaurant near you.."

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. :)
