If it's pure thumbplate system (thumplate and side key for Bb and C, and with no linkage from RH1 to the top joint Bb and C keys) then converting it to conservatoire will be expensive as the top joint main action keywork will have to be redesigned.

The LH3 fingerplate will have to be connected to the Bb key, the side key will be removed and a side G# fitted instead (and probably a new linkage piece from the Bb key to the C key), the connecting bar (con bar) will have to be fitted and also a linkage/foot for RH1 fitted.

The Bb and probably the C toneholes will also need enlarging so they're in tune with conservatoire fingerings.

It is possible to do, but at a cost.
