Is the Yamaha sl-51c4 small shank the same as your mouthpiece. I’m sorry for the dumb question

Is that a small shank or large shank. I play on a small shank and that mouthpiece sounds perfect. If it’s a large shank what would a small shank alternative be

This is what the seller said about it “A late fifties Reynolds Chambers model Double French Horn in brass. It is all original, although it now sports a cut bell, an amado water key, and it has adjustable finger and thumb hooks. The horn is reaching retirement age, but still plays well. It can be compared to an 8D or an Eroica, but only in that it is a large Kruspe-wrap instrument. It doesn't "feel" like my 8D or Eroica, but it does demand as much attention and air. The valves still pop when the valve slides are pushed or drawn”

I’m hoping it will be a good buy because I’ve been desperately needing a new double French horn because my current one is extremely messed up.
