Junior high kids play tubas don't they? The bore on a 3/4 Eb tuba is still quite a bit larger than the 0.580 of a Besson Sovereign euph.
Why not a big-bore euph for kids? It probably would teach good breathing habits faster. My own euph playing took a giant leap forward after I started doubling on BBb tuba (0.770 bore).
