      Cup Diameter

      The Curry 1.5 P has a cup diameter of 17.02 mm / 0.6700 in compared to 17.00 mm / 0.6693 in on the Denis Wick 2B — a difference of 0.02 mm / 0.0007 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 Denis Wick 2B has a wider throat (4.27 mm / 0.1681 in vs 3.70 mm / 0.1455 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.
