Shank length

I was wondering....you know how you can see how far in to the lead pipe your mpc goes (usually by discoloration, or wear an tear) Does the length or amount of shank going in to the leadpipe affect the sound you make. I think my mpc goes in pretty far. I played a horn awhile back where the mpc barely went in to the leadpipe, and I liked the way the notes slotted and the attacks seemed more reliable. Would it be worthwhile to trim the amount of shank on my mpc? Thanks.
