Anyone has a guess what is the key of this helicon?

It doesn't look all that different from my F helicon. Except the bell isn't ripped.

I think it is more likely to be an F tuba than a baryton. The wrap on the Fs is already pretty tight--I don't think that even with tubing wrap following a flattened format, as it does here, there would be room to fit into a baryton length helicon (at least, ahem, for me...)

This guy deals with brass instruments all the time, so if he says 141 inches, I think that would be the best clue. I believe that would be F, right?
