Reference Notes
The benchmark A-series cup. 17mm internal diameter, standard 3.9mm grain, medium depth. The "sweet spot" of the L'Olifant catalogue for most professional hornists — sufficient volume for orchestral use with clear articulation and high-register stability characteristic of the French school. Use these measurements as a comparison starting point: fit and response still depend on the player, dental structure, instrument receiver, and each manufacturer's measuring method.
