Re: F Helicon
You don't need to learn to transpose, just use different fingerings. All tubas, regardless of key, are non-transposing instruments.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Re: F Helicon
If Eb would be easier, there's a sort of nice looking Eb Amati in Bulgaria. Essentially like the Cerveny 611. I had a newer one in a Lignatone stencil, and it was really pretty good.
This one has some weird stuff going on with the leadpipe, now rotates on the tuning slide legs? Probably not a good thing, but may have been done on purpose as the ergonomics of these instruments can drive players to desperation. The F helicon above has more like a sousaphone leadpipe, likely a good thing. (And of course likewise the Eb York on ebay.)

Apparently seller is in fact on tubenet (a sponser no less) and perhaps might be more responsive over tubenet? He posted this thread at least.
