      Cup Diameter

      The Schilke M150* has a cup diameter of 17.52 mm / 0.6898 in compared to 16.89 mm / 0.6650 in on the Curry 3 C. — a difference of 0.63 mm / 0.0248 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 Schilke M150* has a wider throat (3.86 mm / 0.1520 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.
