Can anyone tell me the difference between a Curry 11/2 C and a Curry 11/2 Z trumpet mouthpiece. I would appreciate your input. |

Well, read the description on Curry's web site for starters...
The nice thing about Mark's pieces is that the rim will feel the same between the two.. The Z cup is going to be very shallow in comparison along slightly smaller throat size and different flair (backbore) - I would say that these fall into the range of "specialized" pieces. As he notes, for pure lead or high piccolo playing.
I would say that if you're looking for a zippier sound with the same rim - try the 1 1/2 * (star) first... likewise DE for picc, or M for D/Eb or just a brighter tone.
I have the complete line-up of his pieces in the 3 series. Love them.. Z & Zs are WAY to shallow for me. The star cup works great for me, Big Band-section and lead, Shows and any other commercial work _________________ Freelance Performer/Educator
