Instrument has been sold.


For sale is a 100+ year old Buescher helicon in Eb. 3 valves, a few dents, not particularly shiny. It plays about at A440 with one bit, but I've needed two bits to get the MP in a comfortable spot. YMMV. Makes for a good TubaChristmas horn.

I don't believe the neck and matching bit is original to the instrument. The first bit is abnormal in size, too large for both American and Euro. Hence the masking tape to keep the shiny second one in place. The MTS is stuck, but others pull OK. Valves are loose, needs thick oil to keep acceptable compression.

The instrument is located in Columbia, SC. I could travel up to two hours to meet a buyer on a weekend. Absolutely unwilling to ship, must meet face to face.

I can throw in the bicycle wall hanger too, if wanted :smilie8:
