I also have 2 Marzan mouthpieces, one large, one small.
Ok, Herr Jung wins the prize for most detailed and plentiful measurements. :shock:
I thought you would like that. The Jung mouthpiece is very small on the inside. Honestly, it seems similar in spec to a Bach 25.

The big Marzan was pretty much the same as the Willson WT1 or WT2 (I forget). I had an WT2, and it was ok, but the shank seemed unusually long.

Yeah, I did know that I had seen Willson mouthpieces with identical exteriors to the Marzans, but did not know how similar they might be on the inside.

The large Marzan is very very nice. The large one is barely deeper than the small one. The small one seems 24AW-ish to me except with a narrow, sorta flat rim, fairly similar width to a Sellmansberger #2 rim. I'm guessing that the small one was intended as an E flat mouthpiece.

Are there Marzan or Marzanized Eb's? It's something I've never thought about.

I'm thinking that most instruments bearing his name were built by B/M Symphonic, Willson, or in Belgium.
Did any of those makers build Marzan-worthy E-flat instruments during that era?
There is at least one, in this thread... Looks like just a stencil, though...
