Shank size on Firebird

Post by one.kidney »

On a miraphone firebird, if you were buying a new mouthpiece, would a standard shank or a euro shank fit the horn better?

You could measure the shank of what Miraphone originally supplied with this tuba, and start from there.
I found out that helps the low range response of these tubas as well...
