Someone please buy this so that I can stop thinking about it. I don't need it (I have a great Conn helicon Tom Coffey sold me), I really can't afford it, but I want it. :D
Cerveny BBb helicon WITH CASE for about half the price that other brass-selling establishments are selling used ones without the case.
The only thing that is confusing is that the model number is AHL-631, but the Cerveny helicons I've seen advertised are CHL-631....doesn't AHL designate it as an Amati? Yet the engraving is Cerveny. Perhaps this is a much older version of the present CHL model?

Rather recent, I'd say. The old Amati helicons parallel to the Cerveny models had the Amati name engraved on them, not Cerveny, and I believe they stuck with the old style clock springs and round paddles when Cerveny models had twist springs and modern narrow paddles. (There may have been other differences that weren't so obvious.)

That *is* a big ol' case. Local pickup only.

Baltimore Brass has a Cerveny BBb helicon right now, too. Looks to be the same model. $4K
