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!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Something worth the price, hopefully.

Oh, I was cruising around the 'Net and found an online store that sells this very helicon:
http://www.superbrass.com/brassband.htm
It's about $200 cheaper, too. (It might be the same people that are on eBay... they use the same kind of advertising!)

This is the first time I've ever seen them use adjectives correctly:
"Rare Silver Mellophone / Double French Horn"
Double horn with only three valves; now THAT'S rare!
