Another great job of restoring this 1920 JW York BBb Helicon by Chuck Mac Alexander at the Brasslab.

I found an Eb helicon first and then the BBb body. Had the bell transfered and then had him make a reproduction of a York goose neck which is tapered wih a set of Holton fitted bits. It plays like a dream!

Jealous. (Just a little)

I like the 2 tone look.
