Hey all,

Wondering if anyone has tried a 3B bell on a Bolero
slide? I currently don’t have a 3B bell to test out.
I’ve read that the Bolero was roughly based on the 3B
but curious how the tennon and threading would
match up.

Big thanks

B-

They are not compatible without modification. Bolero has the nut on the bell section, King has the nut on the slide.
