My case is "All The Above", but I'll vote Large because it's the one that gets played the most.

One of the reasons I did this poll was because while at a TubaChristmas event recently I surprised to find of the 12 euphers there I was the only one playing a large shank mouthpiece. Two did not even know a large shank reciever/mouthpiece setup exsisted ( they played tuba mostly and just played euph. occasionally). Two were "college educated/trained" the others were amatures like myself only had been playing many more years then me .

The small shank was too small
and the large shank was too big
but the euro shank was just right

Indeed, in the US, but in the UK they go back to the intro of the Sovereign in the late 70's, so have been around for some time now.
