Thanks. We appear to think alike in this matter. It's not a big edge in objective terms in most mouthpieces' shanks- but in proportion to the size of the tubing at that point it doesn't have to be to have a substantial effect on things. Since, based on my very small sample size, it appears that many tubas have the same set up as mine it would seem that mouthpieces are tested and played with this edge effect as a part of normal business. In any case, aside from some very fragile shank ends which would seem more likely to succumb to damage, there appears to be no effect on the sound which I can hear. Ahh well.
