      The Marcinkiewicz 7G has a wider throat (6.63 mm / 0.2610 in vs 6.53 mm / 0.2570 in). A wider throat allows more air through, increasing volume and projection but reducing resistance.

      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.
