FS: Conn 6H bell Flare attached to a 50H valve section

Title says it all. You would need a Conn .525 slide or the original 50H slide with it. I can confirm a 32H Burkle slide fits great to it. Mostly all raw brass. Asking $350 plus shipping. CONUS only.

Which Conn 525 slide? The 79/78h slide is different from the SL2525.

.522 bore 78h type slide I believe.

I have a 50H, a 78H, and 79H. I haven't tried the slide and bell compatibilities, but can if anyone wants to know.

If the op 32H slide fits then a 78H/79H slide will fit. Post Elkhart. 525 slides have large bore receivers.

I just checked this out of my own curiosity, it may be helpful to others.

The 50H bell section will mate up perfectly with both a 79H and 78H slide, however they are longer and wider than the 50H.

I suppose if you want a trombone pitched in A....

I’m not entirely sure what tenon the 32H slide was, I do not have it anymore. However, whatever length that 32H slide was it worked perfect for the tuning. It was not pitched in A.

Probably everything beyond the rotor itself was from the 6H, so the length would have been shorter than the 50H, but that's just a guess. Seems reasonable given intonation doesn't seem to have been a problem with the 32 slide.

I was once the owner of this bell section. I had it with a Conn 74H (straight .525" bore). It is a 50H bell section with the 6h bell.

Klimchak, were there tuning issues with the 74H slide?

Did swapping the 6H bell with the original keep it the same overall length?

I'm curious because I currently have a stock 50H for sale, it is in great shape except I can't source a working slide lock. Not that medium-bore Conn slides are readily available, but it seems like a good way to have an f-attachment option to a straight bell section.

No tuning issues that I could recall. I did not have it very long before moving it on. I had bought it in conjunction with the aforementioned 74H.

Still available!

I’m not as familiar with the Conn receivers. I have a 12H slide; that wouldn’t fit on this receiver right? (The 32/78 receivers are bigger?)

I have just checked this and found that my 74H (post Elkhart, 0.523 bore) slide does not fit my Gen II 88H.

Still available. At any rate, these are good parts to sort through, especially the 6H flare alone. Open to all offers.

This is really tempting.

The Elkhart 50H bell section will interchange with the following Elkhart slides:

32H, 78H, and 79H

I owned all at the same time as owning the Elkhart 50H and spent a couple hours swapping bells/slides to see what I would find.

3 Conn tenons...

The old 485/500 sizes can swap slides (6h,10h,48h/24h,12h,4h)

The old 522 slides fit each other (50h, 78h, 79h)

The new 525 and all 547/562 all fit (8h, 88h, 52h, 6xh, 7xh,11xh, slsl... )

Awesome, great information. I just sticked it.

UTPride1992 · by **UTPride1992** » 2022-06-21 3:21 p.m.

I did own a 32H and tried the slide out on this. Fit perfectly and for me the bell to slide ratio actually worked out like a modern horn.

Need this gone if anyone is still interested
