Excellent for orchestral work.ī Cup: The Curry B cup is more like a deeper C cup (The Bach B cup is more funnel shaped, and has a different rim). A huge core is present in the sound and can be used as an everyday mouthpiece for those who prefer large cups.īC Cup: The BC, or "Chicago" cup is actually a 1-piece version of the C rim combined with the Bach-style B cup. This cup will brighten when pushed and the upper register is easier to attain. The TC has many of the same sound and playing characteristics of the TF cup, but has a slightly lighter blow. TC Cup: very similar to the TF design, but the bottom convex portion of the cup is 3/16" shallower. This has also proved to be a favorite mellophone cup for many prominent Drum and Bugle Corps and Marching bands. in the horn and leave your tuning slide in approximately the same position. 400" shorter than the standard Curry length of 3.5" You can put this mpc. To compensate for tuning, the mouthpiece is. The cup is roughly 1/3 concave (trumpet-like) and 2/3 convex (flugel-like) with a special backbore and a. Perfect for soft orchestral passages, intimate jazz settings, or for just "working out". It is in tune to high C and above, yet you can play softly and firmly in the low register. TF Cup: Not a flugelhorn cup on a trumpet blank, but a brand-new design!

Please refer to Mouthpiece Overlays page for more info. * Technically speaking, the DE, M, and Star cups are the same depth to the bore. Second cup dimensions in the Curry Standard Line are consistent throughout each diameter, so that a relatively shallow 3Z has many of the same sound characteristics as the deeper 3C or 3B cups. Second cup dimensions are especially critical in determining resistance, definition of attacks, as well as the overall character and timbre of sound. The second cup is the convex portion of the cup that connects the first cup with the bore, or drill hole. It also allows for more support in the upper register and a progressively brighter sound. This feature reduces the volume of the first cup. There is a gradual reduction of undercut, or initial slope into the main, or first cup, from the deeper B cup, to the shallow XS cup. This feature gives you the freedom to select the right cup for the job without having to get used to a different rim. Engineered like no other mouthpiece, the Curry Standard Line incorporates the same rim and bitepoint on the shallowest to the deepest cup within each diameter.
