The helicon is a member of the tuba family, similar to, but pre-dating, the Sousaphone (itself actually a development of the helicon). Commonly used in central and Eastern Europe, particularly in military bands. Preferred by some jazz musicians to the Sousaphone due to their smaller bell size and more compact sound.
