I am familiar with both as they apply to your particular horn (DS). I would reccomend the PT36 over the PT32 as general rule for most players with that horn. The 32 is to small providing that you have an average embrochure or larger. The differences between the two are as follows: cup diameter-32, 32.5mm--36, 33mm; Rim width-32, 8mm--36, 7.5mm; Throat bore is the same at 8.3mm. They both possess a funnel characteristic shape with regards to the inner design, but the 36 is alittle deeper. The rim's inner edge on the 36 is a bit sharper then the 32 and lends itself to be a better match for your horn to help with some of the lower range flexibility problems due to some of the stuffines that is prevalent with many of the DS'.
