[SOLD] BBb Conn/Olds Helicon - $1,800 *Pics Updated* (NYC)

Post by JPLynd »

Hey Everyone,

This horn was made by Tabor Fisher and purchased back in the fall of 2018 It's a Conn 20k wrap, Olds valve assembly, with a Conn Giant Eb bell.

Wish I could keep it, but between playing CC and Eb tuba most of the time, my head was getting scrambled with BBb fingerings so I switched to an Eb helicon.

This horn is a BEAST.

Horn is located in NYC and I'm hoping to avoid shipping but I'm willing to rent a car and travel a reasonable distance to meet a serious buyer.

Hi John, Thanks for sending photos and then for chatting. I suggest you post at least one photo on TubeNet (in your first posting, above), so that people can see this lovely beast. It has some nice design features that should make for a clean and powerful voice. Can't wait to try it. Would like to visit next week, unless the horn has sold sooner! Paul.
