      Cup Diameter

      Both mouthpieces have virtually identical cup diameters at 17.35 mm / 0.6831 in.

      Cup Depth

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

      Throat Diameter

      The Marcinkiewicz 1S has a wider throat (3.73 mm / 0.1469 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.
