      Cup Diameter

      The Curry 4C has a cup diameter of 25.73 mm / 1.0130 in compared to 25.50 mm / 1.0039 in on the Bruno Tilz 305-4 — a difference of 0.23 mm / 0.0091 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 4C has a wider throat (5.92 mm / 0.2330 in vs 5.80 mm / 0.2283 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.
