Thanks, I have a Blessing B88 which is based on the Conn 88H, and the outer slide surprisingly fits to the Yamaha 648 inner section. It has a more heavy feeling. However the entire slide does not fit to the Yamaha bell as the tenon of the Blessing is bigger.
But the Blessing I am planning to sell so I need another slide for the 648.

Is there a comprehensive model/spec list for Yamaha? I used to know where two different online spreadsheets were, and they are both defunct.

If you had a 354 and a 356 could you use the tenon from the 356 slide or the receiver from the 354 to build a single .500 single bore F att horn?

Maybe, tried, playable but still a little loose after fully tightening the nut

You... might be able to get the 356 tenon on a 354. I don't think a 354 receiver would fit on the valve of the 356 though. I don't know how successful you would be with that but it might work. I've seen crazier. The 356 I had were a .530" so it's not that far outside typical divergences. However, the lengths of the slide and bell are different on both models so intonation might be wonky too, even bore differences being accounted for.
