I haven't noticed a difference in length between trombone and euphonium shanks, although Schilke mouthpieces come standard with a longer shank that fits better in Conn trombones...maybee this what you're thinking of?

I'm curious as to what mouthpieces had this difference in shank length? And were these in medium shank?

I have a large shank Schilke 51D that is longer than all my other euph 'pieces. It sticks out farther on my Besson 967 than all my other 'pieces. The others are 3 Bachs a Wick and a Wick/SM. All these others are identical in length.
When I play with the 51D I have to push my tuning slide all the way in, with the others it is pulled out about 3/4 of an inch.
I've wondered if this is normal for Schilkes or was it a manufacturing error. It really doesn't matter to me now 'cause I only use the 51D for a paper weight.
