Getzen 747 (0.547" bore) - slide options?

[blap73]

Picked up a Getzen Eterna II 747 F Bell assembly (which is a 0.547" bore).

What are my options for a slide? You can leave out options like 'new custom XYZ'. I'm sure that would be nice, but out of the budget. Any commonly available options? (ex for small bore... I read that the Conn Director slide is commonly used on a Conn 6H).

If nothing (other than a Getzen) will link up without mods... any suggestions for an option with mods? I'm not opposed to a 0.525" slide.

Hoping you gurus can help!
Cheers!

If they're like the top Getzens, it's a Conn style connector.

If you can't get your hands on an 88 slide, the tenon part isn't too expensive iirc. Labor to swap one out when I had something similar done a few years ago was $100. You might want to broaden your search to Edwards or Shires slides since they are the same length. Bach slides are a touch longer, though it'll probably work okay if you can push your tuning slide in a little (or maybe get it cut a small amount).

Could someone measure (with a caliper) their Conn 88H slide tenon? It looks like the large end of the tenon should be 0.65"
