King 2b slide with 3b bell section

Post by ebrenner »

Is it possible to combine a King 2b slide with a 3b bell section? If so, how is it done? Thanks.

Swap the bell or slide tenon. The 2B+ slide/bell are the same size as a 3B, though. The regular 2B is smaller

Are there any other modifications that need to be done besides swapping the slide or bell tenon, ie gooseneck, tuning slide, leadpipe?
I am considering getting a 2B slide for my 3B bell.
Thank you.

Where you just able to attach the 2b slide or did you have to replace the bell?
