PT's and Bach
Similarities and differences anyone?
I would put a good signature here, but i dont have one, so this will make do.

Re: PT's and Bach
I have a Bach 18 right now, and I want a overview of the basic design of a PT compared to a Bach.
Thanks!

Re: PT's and Bach
That looks like one of the two steps necessary to identify "two particular mouthpieces", but actually it isn't so clear what "Bach 18" means. The exact dimensions of that mouthpiece are reported to vary rather considerable from one to another, due to vagaries of their production process.
I'm not aware of any reports of the same variation from the PT line, so maybe it would be better to start there - which PT did you have in mind? For example, if you were looking at the PT-32, we can report (reading from the online description) medium/large funnel shaped cup 32.5 mm, 8mm throat, rounded rim. Those parameters would be different for the PT-36, and even when the words are the same ... for example the term "funnel shaped" can mean a range of things, it's a very loose description.

Re: PT's and Bach
I dont how my Bach 18 is to others, but its on the heavier side if it helps. I want to hear from people who played on both brands and have the similarites and differences down pretty good, so I can understand the differences.

Q: What's the difference between a stoat and a weasel?
A: A stoat is weaselly distinguished, and a weasel is stoatally different.

Re: PT's and Bach
You can probably find the equivalent Bach mouthpiece in a certain size of PT...
