Schilke mpc shank sizes?
Do Schilke mouthpieces come in different shank sizes? I just got my hands on a Schilke 67, but it doesn't go in the receiver as far as my Baer MMVI Standard. But I see no options for Schilke shanks online. Help?

Has anyone actually measured it? It could be the "in between" .525 to fit more tubas.

The Baer MMVI Standard tapers more gradually than other mouthpieces I encounter-- so it goes pretty deep into the reciever. I just tried one that bottomed out on the Standard size bit of my AGR and I was unable to use it.

Thanks everyone... the Baer MMVI standard is a perfect fit, so is my old Bach 18. No calipers here to measure though...
