It is possible and would not take much time at all by someone who knows what they are doing with a lathe and has the proper taper/dimsensions of the euro shank

I once cut a small shank trombone mouthpiece down to fit in an alto horn (Hindemith Alto Horn Sonata) and it was releatively easy to do... the cut not the Hindemith.

Years ago, I bought a small shank Eb tuba w/o a mouthpiece. I took an old beat up mouthpiece to my cousin's machine shop and made it fit.

Its not hard to do.
