Jonathan's Adventures with his Helicon.
Two ancient eyes peeped out from under a dripping umbrella into the twilight street. In the distance could be heard the booming rhythm of a military band as it came towards them. As the old lady turned her head Jonathan's helicon came into view; the band splashing through the rain and puddles towards her. Her face lit up as the band danced around the street, this way and that, to the popular music. Meanwhile the towns mayor sat looking down from his balcony high above, his view obscured by the heavy rain and shower of umbrellas. Jonathan's helicon filled with water and his uniform became heavy as it got wetter and wetter. Finally, the display was over and Jonathan with his helicon could escape up the hill to the warm room waiting at the top. On the same evening Jonathan and his helicon was seen trying out a new career in the nice warm supermarket.

It is prototype and has no case. It just goes in my van laying on a blanket. There will of course be case for production helicon, but that will differ in having removable bell.
