      Cup Diameter

      The Curry 1.5 B has a cup diameter of 17.02 mm / 0.6700 in compared to 16.84 mm / 0.6630 in on the Marcinkiewicz 10S — a difference of 0.18 mm / 0.0070 in. A wider cup generally produces a fuller, darker tone but requires more air support.

      Cup Depth

      Both mouthpieces share a very deep cup depth, so the sound character from depth alone will be very similar.

      Throat Diameter

      The Marcinkiewicz 10S has a wider throat (3.73 mm / 0.1469 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.
