      Cup Diameter

      The Bruno Tilz 306-5 GS 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

      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.
