A Workshop Reference Signed by Denis Wick, at the Heart of Brass Accessories
Born from a very concrete need, the Denis Wick brand was built around the demands of professional musicians. Denis Wick, then a musician with the London Symphony Orchestra, developed his accessories to achieve the projection and resonance he sought in large halls. In just a few decades, the company has become a worldwide reference for brass accessories, supported by British craftsmanship and an approach focused on performance and reliability.
For Which Musicians and Playing Contexts?
This mouthpiece is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians seeking more controlled playing, as well as orchestral players looking for flexibility. Its behavior is particularly relevant for the symphonic repertoire and all situations requiring dynamic shifts, changes in tonal character, and maintaining good stability in sound production.
Sound and Design
The "Ultra" concept is based on a greater mass than a standard mouthpiece, which promotes a centered feeling and a more grounded playing style. The 16.75 mm cup diameter contributes to the balance between comfort and precision, while the 3.80 mm rim width influences response and attack clarity. The V-shaped backbore is designed to offer smooth airflow and homogeneous sound emission, with a silver-plated finish that maintains a traditional touch.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve surface condition and hygiene, adding a dedicated mouthpiece cleaner/brush and a storage case (universal mouthpiece size) is recommended. Without specific information about your exact instrument, it is best to verify compatibility before choosing a specific case.
