I play a king 607. It has a small shank receiver. Is it possible to change this to a large shank receiver by either opening up the current receiver, or changing slides with another horn?

[quote="Burgerbob"]Nope. What mouthpiece do you want to use?[/quote]
Easy answer would be something with the inside diameter if a Wick 2 or 3AL, but shallow. I'll probably have to go the Warburton or Elliott route to get what I want.
(Either that, or borrow my friend's 4B)
Thanks for the reply.

There are a few options with larger rims. As you said, one of the easiest is Doug Elliot's.

Have you thought of borrowing a large bore tbone from a good friend? Bet you can have a 4B in your hands within 24 hours. If that doesn't float your boat and you are looking for a long term solution, I know a music store in Parma, Ohio that might tackle that. Owner isn't back until Thursday, though.
