My 10 year old son is entering Middle School this fall and will be in band. He’s decided to play euphonium and is practicing on my beat up but quite playable 3 valve bell front horn. The only small shank mouthpieces I have are a Schilke 51D or an old Bach 15. I think one is too big and the other too small. What are your recommendations?

If he's just beginning, a small shank Bach 6.5AL would be a good choice I think. Yamaha 48 is an option too, or a Wick 6BS.Euphoniums

Yep, 6.5AL will last until high school and then you can try 51D or 5G esque MP. I played 6.5AL all through HS. Also agree with the Wick 6BS and Yamaha 48 above. Any standard mp in this size (or maybe a tad smaller since he's 10) will suffice.
