[TPIN] Big or Small???

In MM, I'm not sure. I may have some of those stats somewhere, but
they're not readily at hand with time available. The a cup is closer
towards a flugel mouthpiece but not quite that deep. My c cup is middle
of the road depth and my d cup is shallower. The 1 is about as big of a
mouthpiece as Bach makes. I say that not to brag but to give size
concept. A 7c type, for instance, is about the same size, but shallower
and slightly smaller than my old King 7m. A 10 1/2c is smaller but not
shallow-cupped. 
You see, as a blind trumpeter, I measure my mouthpieces with my thumb
anyway. There are marked measuring implements, but I'm not really a tool
guy. (or maybe only under duress!) :-)
