      Cup Diameter

      The Bach 7C Flugel has a cup diameter of 16.20 mm / 0.6378 in compared to 15.88 mm / 0.6250 in on the Curry 10.5 FL — a difference of 0.32 mm / 0.0128 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

      The Curry 10.5 FL has a wider throat (4.01 mm / 0.1580 in vs 3.99 mm / 0.1571 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.
