Holton Chicago 6/4 BBb Helicon – $4,750.00
Holton Chicago 6/4 BBb Helicon, ser. #6704, .750″ bore, 22.5″ bell, silver-plated.
If you’ve ever wondered what a 6/4 Holton BBb tuba would look like if it were wrapped in helicon form, now you know! Hand-crafted in Chicago in 1909, it was black, dented, and needed some other repairs. Thankfully, the valves were still solid, and only required new valve guides, springs felts and cork washers to be fully functional again. The main tuning slide and extension required cutting and fitting to bring the helicon to modern pitch, and it is really sweet now. Add a new receiver and bits, and a repaired and replated thumb ring, and you have a recipe for some really fun playing. …….. $4,750.00
