      Cup Diameter

      The Denis Wick 4B has a cup diameter of 16.50 mm / 0.6496 in compared to 16.30 mm / 0.6417 in on the Monette Cornet C6 Rim — a difference of 0.20 mm / 0.0079 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 4B has a wider throat (4.27 mm / 0.1681 in vs 3.66 mm / 0.1441 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.
