Re: Amati Eb helicon 4 v
Another one? From a couple of months back: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=54487.
This one looks like it has had valve linkage replaced. The original links, like on the above - and on mine - are a little clunky, but oiling the valve itself seems to help.
I'd barely recognize it, from the picture of the whole thing, I guess because of the perspective - assuming mine is really the same thing, that's an 18 inch bell, and of course the body circle is rather small. My helicon's previous owner couldn't get along with it, because of hand position - rotary valves and a tight circle are an awkward combination.
It has a pretty good sound, over the range from bottom to top - not a weakling on the bottom as happens with some `giant' Eb tubas, and a nice clear sound up above. Intonation isn't automatic.
