> Maybe. My 1960 Contempora tenor trombone has a receiver opening that
measures approximately .495", which is .020" larger than the size noted in
Bach's mouthpiece catalog for the receiver size at the proper insertion
depth of a tenor trombone small shank mouthpiece. I've always used one wrap
of electical tape or a few wraps of teflon tape to get started, then adjust
as needed. I've been considering using the aluminum tape that is designed
for heating duct sealing, but am not sure how the adhesive will work with
the mpc shank. Interestingly, I have an old Roth mouthpiece that *is* the
proper size for the Reynolds receiver - too small of a rim/cup for my
purposes though. I've never tried a "medium shank" mpc - anyone have the
size measurements of the Wick M shank OD?>>



Kelly Mouthpieces lists the European Euphonium Shank as 0.510"

these adjustments are needed. Morse shank bass mpcs wobble a little bit in
my 1970 Reynolds bass, but Schilke fit best. Go figure.
