      Cup Diameter

      The Curry 10.5 TC has a cup diameter of 15.88 mm / 0.6250 in compared to 15.70 mm / 0.6181 in on the Bach 11B — a difference of 0.18 mm / 0.0069 in. A wider cup generally produces a fuller, darker tone but requires more air support.

      Cup Depth

      Throat Diameter

      The Curry 10.5 TC has a wider throat (3.89 mm / 0.1530 in vs 3.66 mm / 0.1441 in). A wider throat allows more air through, increasing volume and projection but reducing resistance.

      Neither mouthpiece clearly dominates the other — the right choice depends on your embouchure, playing style, and the sound you're after. Try both if possible.
