Just need some input (guidance) here. Currently playing a Bach 2 3/4c. Love everything about it but the cup needs to be a bit larger across. Any suggestions on where to start?
Thanks - RC

It's real similar to a Bach 1X. The rim contour not so much, but the cup shape and depth is really similar.

Many options, but why do you think you want a bigger diameter?
I wrestled and fought with pieces in the 1.5 - 1 Bach range (Bach, Schilke, Yamaha, Warburton) for years, then by chance and some guidance moved back toward the 3 neighborhood - without loosing tone, I gained consistency, endurance and after a while my range took off.
Just curious because "bigger" isn't always the answer.. nor is "shallower" for the upper register.
If your liking and doing well with the Bach rims - I'd direct you toward Pickett, Very similar but with more consistency, variety and would allow you more choices for backbore/throat choices)

I suppose I should clarify wish the from inside rim to inside rim. Thanks for those who responded so far.

----------------------------------------------------------
The shape of the rim where it presses on your lips and teeth has a BIG influence on how large the ID of the rim feels - and also affects how comfortable the rim feels.
If your primary concern is to find a rim that 'fits' better by feeling 'larger', then I suggest that you concentrate on the rim curvature and its 'high point' location - not the actual rim or cup ID.
