      Cup Diameter

      The Bach 6 has a cup diameter of 25.50 mm compared to 24.75 mm on the Bach 7 — a difference of +0.75 mm. 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, 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.
