You mean you're supposed to play these things!? I thought you were just meant to chuck 'em at people you couldn't bend to your will! :oops:
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

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!)

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