Yes to the Euro shank. I would love to try it on my Nirschl with a mouthpiece that actually fits it, although I'll use paper to get by . . . I did it for years with a Conn Helleberg until Paul Sidey came out with his Hellebergs.

Heck, as long as we're at it, do you have them "spec'd" for Yamaha YEB-321 or YEB-381 Eb tubas? (are all Yamahas set up for the same felts?)

I just received my set of Bloke washers for both the Yorkbrunner and my YFB-621.

The Feast of trumpets is coming up this Sabbath, followed by the Day of Atonement, The Feast of Tabernacles, and The Last Great Day. I usually clean my horn before the Fall Holy Day season, and with the timing of the washers' arrival, I decided that tonight was the night. I'll be performing solos here in Charlotte and in Branson, MO in the upcoming weeks.

After a thorough cleaning, I placed the Bloke washers on the valves and did my homemade oil treatment. They are the tiniest bit louder than felt, but I love the feel, and can tell that they will last a long time. They are also a perfect fit!

Thank you, Mr. Bloke, you are a brilliant inventor. I look forward to performing with your washers during the upcoming Feasts, and also to trying them on the Yorkbrunner when I get the chance.
