I would contact Lee Stoffer, The Tuba Meister, and ask to try a Stofer Geib. Lee can tell you if he thinks it will work but, having both, myself, I think it would. Lee is a sponsor of Tubenet.

Thanks!
If it's any help, Bach states in their mouthpiece catalog that their tuba mouthpieces *are* available with Euro shank (by special order). You can download the catalog from Mouthpiece Express.
