Shallowest B-series cup. 17.5mm internal diameter, 3.9mm grain. Wider bore than the A series with a shallow cup — produces a bright, clear tone with the volume advantage of the larger diameter. 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.
