To see if it was possible to actually play tuba parts with the thing. In this regard, the mouthpiece it came with was absurdly useless and got tossed in the trash. I tried the highly recommended 51D with only similar results. The Denis Wick SM3M exposes the low range pretty much all the way down -- although it has a tendency to scare the cat. Note that this horn takes a "medium" or "european" shank euph mouthpiece. If it would fit my Schilke 60, it would probably be even scarier.

Hmmm ... a Schilke 60 with a medium shank. Something like this?

A tad pricey, but if you're going to do a proper job of scaring the cat ...

Gary, I think there's a SM2M now and Josef Klier has mps in that notquiteBritish medium shank. And you could always grind something down.

Any possibility of a big front piston or rotary (like a MW49) euphonium?

No, no, no! Go for the Lätzsch compensator.
