Not all helicons have small bore. The old King, Conn and Beuscher helicons had the same valve tubing as the corresponding sousaphones, and the Cervany helicons have always had huge bore. I have an old french helicon made by Henri Gunkel and imported by Lyon & Healy that has .800" bore pistons and a huge body.
