I haven't seen an entire "Kaiser" euphonium, but I've seen the bell from one of them...
...The bottom diameter was so large that a friend of mine successfully made a super-shorty "hiking" tuba with a Miraphone 184-CC body and a Kaiser euphonium bell...
...He added the length back to the instrument with a big curly-cue in the mouthpipe.
Pertinent info here: Kaiser euphoniums are obviously VERY VERY fat, though I know nothing of their playing characteristics.
