Reference Notes
Benchmark B-series cup. 17.5mm diameter, standard 3.9mm grain, medium depth. Lies in the most popular range of the catalogue — the 17–17.5mm sweet spot for modern professional hornists. Broad tonal core with reliable slot definition. 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.
