I've turned a Bach 18's shank on a couple of occassions. Had the benefit of bringing a student's imperial up to pitch. Didn't seem to affect tone or intonation (but, as always YMMV).

I still would prefer using a DW, which should fit. I don't know why you would be advised to turn the shank on a DW. Are we talking about an even smaller receiver size (my imperials had the same receiver size as a tenor trombone, from memory), or is the advisor thinking of the DW L range?

Cheers,

Ian Easton
