The Marcinkiewicz Mouthpiece CollectionThe CupThe cup reflects the players choice for quality of sound by both depth and shape. There are three basic types of cups C-cup, V-cup and the Marcinkiewicz modified C/V-cup. A C-cup offers the player a darker sound. A V-cup offers efficiency. Our modified C/V-cup can offer the darker sound of a C-cup with the efficiency of a V-cup. The air stream is channeled through the center of our uniquely designed cup and venturi, through the backbore and directly into the horn to produce the desired sound. In short, the modified C/V-cup is easier to play. There is a difference between a C-cup and a V-cup and not every player can play both. The C/V-cup offers more choice to a wider range of players.A deeper cup offers a darker sound and a shallower cup offers a brighter sound. Our modified C/V-cup mouthpieces can be shallower and still give the player more flexibility and versatility verses the C-cup or V-cup alone. Again, this situation is because the modified C/V-cup is more efficient.Cup depth alone does not always dictate the sound quality. The overall shape of the cup factors in greatly. You may find mouthpieces in this catalog that have similar dimensions (inside cup diameter, outside cup diameter and depth) but play completely differently. Generally, this is due to a variation in cup shape. It is possible for a mouthpiece that has a shallower cup than another mouthpiece (again, with same rim dimensions) to have greater overall cup volume than the deeper mouthpiece, due to the contours of the cup....
