Re: Kaiserbass Tuba Helicon Forum
At the top of the usual impenetrable facebook collage, I see there's a black and white picture (of Erskine Tate and his Vendome Orchestra) featuring the tuba player, on a raincatcher style sousaphone. Caption "some strange, helicon-sousa?" And some helpful authority responds "Thats a Helikon." OK.
