      Cup Diameter

      The Bach 4 has a cup diameter of 26.00 mm / 1.0236 in compared to 24.75 mm / 0.9744 in on the Bach 7 — a difference of 1.25 mm / 0.0492 in. A wider cup generally produces a fuller, darker tone but requires more air support.

      Cup Depth

      Both mouthpieces share a medium cup depth, so the sound character from depth alone will be very similar.

      Throat Diameter

      Throat diameters are essentially identical at 5.85 mm / 0.2303 in, so resistance feel will be comparable.

      Which is better?

      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.
