TU33 mouthpiece question

Post by rudysan »

For those who have tried the TU33 mouthpiece, does it have the same rim width as the TU23 or is it smaller ? And does it have a bowl or a funnel shaped cup ? Can we compare it to a PT88 ?

Thanks.

There's a link to the horn guys mouthpiece chart.

According to that chart, the TU-33 has a 33.5mm cup diameter vs. the TU-23 having a 32.5mm diameter. The TU-33 is also deeper and has a wider bore.

I don't know specifically if the width of the rim is identical, but I own both and they feel very close to me.
