      Cup Diameter

      The Bruno Tilz 305-D 5 has a cup diameter of 26.00 mm / 1.0236 in compared to 24.74 mm / 0.9740 in on the Curry 7M — a difference of 1.26 mm / 0.0496 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 7M has a wider throat (6.53 mm / 0.2570 in vs 6.30 mm / 0.2480 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.
