Cup Diameter
The Bruno Tilz 211-B 15 has a cup diameter of 18.00 mm compared to 17.00 mm on the Denis Wick 7N — a difference of +1.00 mm. 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
