Oh, I was cruising around the 'Net and found an online store that sells this very helicon:

It's about $200 cheaper, too. (It might be the same people that are on eBay... they use the same kind of advertising!)

This is the first time I've ever seen them use adjectives correctly:

Double horn with only three valves; now THAT'S rare! :D
