Helicon comparisons

There recently have been threads on helicons.

For those interested in this topic, I have made a special index only encompassing the 40+ helicons in my collection of brass photos. Of course some of the entries hint, that they have been taken from a general brass gallery index, but yet this small index should be easily navigated by those interested in this topic.

The recently asked about CC helicon also is generously illustrated thanks to its owner. I haven't investigated it very much yet, but first impression is, that it is a Db Cerveny, which has been re-pitched to CC by means of a "doughnut" main tuning slide.

You will find the index near the top of the page linked to below here.

The pic hopefully popping up above here is a suggestion for the design of a soprano "helicon".
