Has Bloke seen this helicon?

Post by MichaelDenney »

When Bloke sees this Eb Buescher helicon he is liable to find an elegantly simple way to convert it to F. Then he'll have a matching pair of orchestral helicons!

Too bad there aren't so many 2 tuba orchestral pieces! :lol:

The only problem with these horns is that the opening is so small that a "normal" sized tuba player may have trouble fitting into it comfortably.

Looks like the engraving's in good shape ... or, in Hungarian:

"I will not buy this helicon, it is scratched." :P
