What a beautiful job, and a beautiful horn Is the bell as stable as you hoped it would be ? I don't know if an angle like that would be problematic. I have an old york master Eb sousa with a king receiver on it that plays better than my 4v Eb Buescher Helicon hmmm...(Then again, I need to get some more work done on the Buescher.) I guess the trick is finding a suitable bell.
P.S. to Art- I remember that Rich Matteson did indeed play an Eb helicon.
