Denis Wick: A Musician's Demand Turned Into a Standard
Created by Denis Wick, a musician of the London Symphony Orchestra, the brand has established itself over a few decades as a standard for brass accessories. The founding idea is simple: to offer mouthpieces and accessories capable of meeting real stage and orchestral demands, with manufacturing supported by true British artisanal expertise. The Classic series fits within this tradition: a timeless classic, adopted for its consistency and high level of finish.
For Which Musician and Styles?
This mouthpiece is aimed at musicians seeking a "classic" and versatile feel, from intermediate to advanced levels. It is particularly suitable for contexts where a clean and centered sound is expected: orchestra, wind band, brass band, studio, but also modern aesthetics when precision of attack and sound control are prioritized.
Sound and Design
With a 17.00 mm cup and a 4.48 mm rim, the balance targets comfortable playing and good endurance, while maintaining clear articulation. The 4.50 mm rim width promotes a direct emission, good stability, and consistent projection. The barrel-type shank contributes to the centered feel, while the silver-plated finish provides a pleasant contact sensation and a refined appearance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the finish and hygiene, a mouthpiece cleaning brush and a soft cloth are recommended after each session.
