The euphonium is a different instrument and requires an appropriate mouthpiece. None of the goofy cheaters mouthpieces seem to be truly successful.
This x 1 quadrillion.

If you need to play Euphonium as a piccolo tuba/emergency double and have no intention of playing seriously, the Yamaha Bobo TT signature mouthpiece does work. I have one, but to use my Euphonium as a minuscule tube on rare occasions, not as my Euph mouthpiece. My actual Euph 'piece is a Perantucci 2A.
