[Dixielandjazz] Trumpet cups

[Margaret Squires]

From the Bach Mouthpiece Catalog:

Model numbers progress numerically from model #1 with the largest cup diameter, to model #20C with the smallest cup diameter. 

Cup depths are notated with letters. “A” cups are the deepest; standard cups have no letter designation; progressively shallower cups are marked B through F 

Hope this helps you Bill. The guide is available for download if you wish to read the entire thing. Just google it. Sorry I don’t have the link readily available.
