Re: WTB: MPC Adapter: modern shank to smaller English
Posted: Fri Apr 14, 2006 6:57 am
Hmmm ... an adapter to fit the larger American shank into the smaller English receiver would be larger on the inside than on the outside!
There are two possibilities (that I can see):
(1) An American-shank mouthpiece should fit about half-way into the B&H receiver (assuming that the B&H shank is roughly the same dimensions as a bass trombone shank). This can work if you can push the main tuning slide in at least 1/4" (6 mm) further than its "normal" setting (i.e., where you'd set it for the smaller-shank mouthpiece).
(2) Having the receiver replaced with a larger one (or having the existing one reamed to the larger size) is a long-term solution ... but then you'll need an adapter to use any B&H-shank mouthpieces you have.
Hope this helps!
