Dear Francis,
 

Is contrabass-l still working ?  If so, do you think you could you
forward the following to it - it won't accept it from me for some
reason.

Today's batch seems to be mainly sousaphones and double-bell euphoniums
(euphonia?), but there is at least one helicon:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=72544784, current
bid $225 (and the reserve already covered).

Enjoy!
