[Dixielandjazz] Trumpet cups

[Paul Kurtz Jr]

The number refers to the diameter of the piece. With Bach, smaller is bigger. With Schilkey, Yamaha and a few others, as the numbers get bigger, the diameter gets bigger. 

In lettering, C is a moderate depth cup. Earlier letters, A, B, and no letter, mean deeper cups. Letters D and E are shallower cups. 

Hope this helps.

I was wondering what the letters on mouth pieces actually refer to. For instance, I currently play a Bach 3C. By going to a 3B, 3E etc, what is changing - — the depth?  and if so, do the more you get into the alphabet, is that deeper or shallower? i.e. is E deeper than B?
