A Reference Born from the Stage: Denis Wick and Brass Demands
Founded by Denis Wick, musician of the London Symphony Orchestra, the brand has established itself as a worldwide reference for brass accessories by focusing on meticulous craftsmanship and precise acoustic choices. The Classic Steven Mead series embodies this DNA: a "classic" base enriched by the experience of an international soloist, here with a Signature version whose backbore shape and cup diameter are subtly optimized.
For Which Musician and Playing Context
This mouthpiece is aimed at intermediate to advanced players seeking a professional feel, whether in orchestra, brass band, fanfare, or solo repertoire. Its dimensions favor stable and nuanced playing, ideal for working endurance, attack precision, and sound control.
Sound and Design
The 25.40 mm cup diameter contributes to a broad sound emission and solid tonal foundation, while the 6.20 mm rim thickness adds comfort and stability in support. The 7.10 mm cup diameter helps maintain a steady airflow with a direct response sensation. Finally, the gold-plated finish provides a smooth contact and fluid articulation, appreciated during long sessions.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the finish and hygiene, a mouthpiece cleaning brush and a protective case or pouch are highly recommended (universal solutions suitable for most mouthpieces).
