Zenith Helicon

Post by nimrod480 »

Hi, I have an old Zenith Bb helicon, I have lost the neck/leadpipe and was wondering if you know if I can buy a new neck somewhere that will fit?

All the best and thank you for your help!

So there are some pictures, I am in Iceland, but I guess I need to update my profile.
There is a neck bit there, but it plays fairly sharp almost at B rather then Bb, so I guess there is another bit missing, and think I should buy a whole neck bit.

Ok, so the mouthpiece is about 3-4 inches from my face, it gits perectly into the neck, and the tuba the neck goes into is adjustable, will it be wise to buy these bits http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jupiter-594-596 ... Sw65FXt2Bj" target="_blank for it?
