  • Modular_cup_rim
  • Combo_taper
  • Wide_throat

Extra-deep B-series cup with enlarged 4.4mm grain. The combination of the deepest cup volume and a wider-than-standard throat is a specialist configuration for orchestral low-horn players requiring maximum tonal breadth and minimum resistance. 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.
