      Cup Diameter

      Both mouthpieces have virtually identical cup diameters at 24.50 mm / 0.9646 in.

      Cup Depth

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

      Throat Diameter

      The Bach 12C has a wider throat (5.85 mm / 0.2303 in vs 5.80 mm / 0.2283 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.
