A Signature from a Brass Accessories Reference
Founded by Denis Wick, former musician of the London Symphony Orchestra, the brand has established itself over half a century as a worldwide reference for brass accessories. The Classic Steven Mead series was born from a collaboration with one of the great names in euphonium, aiming to create a mouthpiece with a classic profile, featuring subtle adjustments designed for modern playing.
For Which Musician and Usage?
This mouthpiece is intended for intermediate to advanced players seeking a feel close to a Classic, with a slightly refined throat and rim. It is particularly suitable for solo repertoire, brass band, wind orchestra, and contexts where intonation and endurance are essential.
Sound and Design
The cup (26.00 mm) contributes to a sense of openness and sound breadth, while the rim (6.72 mm) provides comfort and helps maintain consistency over time. The throat (7.38 mm), the passage area leading to the backbore, aids in response precision and stability. The medium backbore aims for a compromise between projection, center, and ease of sound production.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the gold-plated finish and hygiene, prioritize regular cleaning with a suitable mouthpiece brush and rinsing with lukewarm water (without abrasive products).
