Yes it can be done!!

The difference between the taylor yoiu have and mine is really down to bore size of course as yours is a larger bore than my horns, but that is easily taken care of by using the matching bore size tubing when making the front bend .
the back maintuning slide assembly uses the current bell anyhow so that is not a problem, again using a slightly larger bore size for the main tuning slide parts will overcome this.
The biggest consideration of mine would be getting the joint correct from the 1 peice taylor mouthpipe onto the front bend, but nothing is usually un-achievable if you put your mind to it

Regards

Leigh
