Trombone player Bill Hannaford played in Cell Block 7 for many years...and
he doubled on a four valve silver plated Conan helicon, built in 
1889....it's
in great condition, and now his widow would like to sell it...she said she
could send pictures...if any of you know a musician who would like to own
it, let me know! It's probably one-of-a-kind, and rumor has it that are 
several arrowheads embedded inside from it's Cavalry days in Indian 
territory!
He played great Dixieland solos on it!
