The C3 has a deeper cup than C4.
Also has bigger throat. Bigger sound, but less of that "bark" that the C4 enables.
the rims on both are similar (I think the C3 is a hair smaller I.D.).

Overall, the C3 is a 'mid-size' on CC & BBb tubas, while some would say the C4 is more of a F tuba mouthpiece (although most BBb & CC Miraphones include a C4 in the case from the factory!)

the C3 is a great all-round mouthpiece for Euro-style (rotary) tubas.
