A far less costly and reversible/semi permanent option is to have a hollow sheet brass or nickel silver or even solid silver (as sterling silver sheet isn't as expensive as you'd think) extension piece made to fit onto the existing LH Ab/Eb touchpiece and have it glued on with epoxy. The silver plated finish won't be harmed and it can be removed with heat, then any residual epoxy can be cleaned off with solvent to revert it back to how it was originally. No surgery required.
