RE: articulated C#-G#

I t certainly would not be a good idea or cost effective to convert to articulated C#/G#. The tenon would have to be removed, the upper section shortened a new tenon grafted in, the lower section shortened, two new post locations, major key modifications, etc etc. Effectively the tenon joint has to be moved further up the instrument to get the relevant tone hole in the lower section. That is major surgery. An alternative would be to keep the tone hole and tenon where they are, but then even more major mechanical work would be needed and would involve a second bridge key. Better to sell the instrument and buy the articulated original. The LH Eb would be easier but could look very much an add-on, because it probably could not be sensibly put BETWEEN the other two levers as is normally done.
