After 40 years of playing Dixie on a BBb helicon, I'm still convinced it's the way to go. I love the size and balance of the instrument. My "new" (1920) Buescher with 4 Bohm & Meinl pistons is a real treat! For lightweight jobs (trio or quartet with no piano or drums) I like the little Weril; if I have to fly I take a tupperware tuba (Conn 22K sousaphone) which does really well except when there is a low ceiling to work under.
