Once I found a helicon-wrap satin baritone with a gold wash bell at a flea market.
Told my teacher about it, he went and got it (for like a hundred bucks or so.)
A few months later, a local trombonist wanted the thing, and wanted it so bad
that a swap was made for a very unusual tuba....but THAT is a story I shan't
be persuaded to tell. Suffice to say the blare-icon was a good find in its own right!
