I never play mine because I can't figure out how to hold it.
Then I saw this video:

and I thought he looked pretty relaxed.
Then I got to thinking: young fit kid, yet he keeps switching grips. Maybe he has the same trouble I do.

it's pretty easy, actually. wrap your left hand around the valve cluster, using the right hand steady the instrument. walk to the nearest open dumpster or large trash can and release.

[quote="Ted"]off topic: 6 valve Helicon? any body got information on that?[/quote]
Never seen one with 6 valves. But you wear a Helicon just like you would wear a Sousaphone.
And if it has a Tonwechsel, you adjust that before you start playing and leave it alone.
