Thanks for asking Chris. Certainly not centimeters! In fact as I use an actual measuring thingy, I only get a difference of .5mm longer on a Wurlitzer M3 from circa 1984 compared to a Vandoren M13 circa 2007. The actual outer diameter of the tenon is barely a full millimeter larger on the Wurlitzer.
Perhaps I originally compared with a shorter French mouthpiece. The measuring thingy takes all the fun out of "eye-balling" the differences!
Ok there is one clear difference (maybe I'm being a bit defensive): following the baffle through the tone chamber to the bore on a French mouthpiece, the baffle tapers dramatically to be much narrower as it enters the bore. On the German mouthpiece there is almost no narrowing at all (but I cannot get my caliper down there so that measurement still remains a mystery, thank God).
