Would MW 6450 parts be compatible with a 2165?

Post by Triggerfish »

Just curious since the 6450 and 2165 share a very similar build. Would it be hypothetically possible to exchange the fifth valve and main tuning slide segment on a 2165 for a 6450 main slide and fifth valve segment?

This has been done. You would have to get the "dogleg" thingie from the tuning slide to the first part of the body of the horn after the valves. I think they are a different size on the small ends. Try a 45SLP leadpipe too, while you're at it.
