Now that Kanstul has gone out of business, is there a source for Kanstul trombone parts?

Specifically, I am looking for the connectors that join the bell section (female with threaded collar) to the slide section (male with threads), both for their .500 bore horns.

Unfortunately, I don't know the proper names for these components.

Any help would be appreciated.

BAC in Kansas City bought up all the Kanstul parts.

That would be the "slide receiver" with the tightening nut and the "slide tenon".

The receiver and tenon on my Kanstul 1570, I'm pretty sure are identical in size and thread pitch to a Bach 42.

Also, if they can't source the Kanstul parts, they can probably supply you with another set from one of their own lines.
