Benchmark C-series cup. 18mm diameter, standard 3.9mm grain, medium depth. The most versatile entry point to the C series for players who need the largest bore in the 1789 range. 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.
