Ad says "May not ship to United States- inquire"

Helicons with their bells on have to ship in big boxes. Europe to US is probably kind of expensive.

I got a couple of helicons delivered from Germany to the US. One basically came in the mail, and surprisingly intact.

But yeah, when the seller says it ships to Germany, that's probably all they're up for.

Plus there's the ergonomics, which I sure don't know but looks dreadful, and only 3 valves for what must be a bass tuba. Maybe it's a good thing he's inflicting it on fellow Germans.
