      Both mouthpieces have virtually identical cup diameters at 26.00 mm / 1.0236 in.

      Cup Depth

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

      Throat Diameter

      The Bruno Tilz 306-5 GS has a wider throat (6.80 mm / 0.2677 in vs 5.85 mm / 0.2303 in). A wider throat allows more air through, increasing volume and projection but reducing resistance.

      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.
