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!

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."
