If you're going to use it for euphonion, it's probably not worth consideration.
It's waay too big for use as a passable substitute for a real bariphonium mouthpiece. Tuning will be a problem and the sound will be considerably duller than what a real euphonium mouthpiece produces.
OTOH, it might be useful on a real tenor tuba (big bore), French C tuba or contrabass trombone, or even as a small Eb/F mouthpiece where you really were after a tuba sound.
If you're still tempted and are curious, don't waste your money on the gold-plated Signature model, go for the much less advertised, but a heckuva lot less pricey, Replica silverplated version.
