I dont think that its unreasonable to think that helicons were played in orchestras I do rember seeing an old movie with one in it .
We allseem to have fallen into this perfect horn "thing" york etc..
I belive that Bill Bell's favorite horn was his king Eb sousaphone. He used that horn many times in the NY Philharmonic. it was also very common to see recording bell horns .I know that gone with the wind and hundreds of other movies were played on them.
I think too many modern day players are too scared or too ignorant to use what works on the job
