Title says it all. Just curious if possible and ... if possible, what advantages might that bring to the 822g?

Thanks in advance...

I've succesfully coupled an edwards DB slide with my Bach bell though I suspect that the yamaha won't work. Imperial vs metric threads for a start on the retaining nut and as for the taper?

Hopefully someone could chime in who has tried it.

I used a YBL622 slide fit a Shires bell section a few years ago in a pinch. I recall it worked reasonably well. Yamaha slide parts are pretty reasonably priced and often quick if in stock so you may want to consider just getting a cork barrel and tenon (or maybe just tenon) and installing that. Or perhaps getting a 578 lower and installing on existing slide I suppose. That’s the approach I’d take if I wanted something similar to what you seem to be after.

Fwiw, I played the new Yamaha models and I too thought a 578 lower would have been a great fit.

I played my 613H with all 3 of my dual bores a bit. I did enjoy it that way. I think... the 822 also has a Bach connector, which means an Edwards will fit fine. Don't hold me to that though.
