an antique store that sells nic-nacs to restaurants. They had four rotary valve helicons, 2 F's and 2 BBb's. One of the Cerveny BBb's had a positively glorious sound.
The owner wanted $1800 for it. he said it's more valuable as a wall art than as a musical instrument. I cried for three days.
There were also dozens of sousaphones of all keys, many other brass and woodwinds.
