Shallowest C-series cup. 18mm internal diameter, 3.9mm grain. The largest bore in the 1789 range with a shallow cup — unusual specialist combination for avant-garde or very high-volume applications requiring a wide embouchure aperture. 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.
