Denis Wick 5885AL - CLASSIC 5AL SILVER PLATED (LARGE SHANK)

Denis Wick "Classic": a lineage of mouthpieces that has become a standard

Founded by Denis Wick, musician of the London Symphony Orchestra, the brand was built around a simple idea: to create accessories capable of meeting the real demands of players, particularly in terms of projection and ease of playing. In a few decades, Denis Wick has established itself as a worldwide signature for brass accessories, with manufacturing carried out by highly skilled craftsmen. The Classic series fits within this tradition: a proven design, adopted by a large majority of musicians for its consistency and sound quality.

For which musician and in which styles?

This mouthpiece is aimed at musicians seeking a stable playing feel and a good projection margin, from intermediate to advanced/professional levels. Its design focused on efficiency and power is particularly suitable for contexts where the instrument must carry: orchestra, marching band, wind ensemble, brass band, and more broadly popular music or symphonic repertoire requiring a clear presence within the ensemble.

Sound and design

The work on the cup and rim aims for a highly sought-after compromise: a full tone, solid projection, and immediate response. The cup diameter and rim thickness directly contribute to comfort, endurance, and articulation precision. The throat (internal diameter) adds to the feeling of freedom and openness of the sound, while the barrel-type shank and large bore promote a broad sound and marked presence, especially useful in large spaces.

Recommended compatible accessories

To preserve the finish and hygiene, the use of a soft cloth and a cleaning product suitable for mouthpieces is recommended. (Cases, pouches, and brushes come in various sizes: without guaranteed dimensional compatibility, it is best to choose a model specifically announced for this type of mouthpiece.)
