Denis Wick 5889BL - CLASSIC 9BL SILVER PLATED (LARGE SHANK)

Denis Wick "Classic": The Legacy of a Brand That Became a Standard for Brass

The brand originated from a simple idea: to create accessories that professional musicians were missing. Denis Wick, then a player with the London Symphony Orchestra, developed his own solutions to optimize resonance and sound presence in large halls. Over a few decades, the company established itself as a worldwide reference for brass accessories, notably thanks to meticulous craftsmanship and genuine artisanal expertise. The Classic series continues this tradition: a widely adopted choice for its consistency and performance.

For Which Musician and in What Styles?

This Denis Wick Classic mouthpiece is aimed at musicians seeking a stable playing feel and immediate response, whether in serious progression (end of beginner cycle) or already intermediate/advanced. Its profile focused on projection and air openness is particularly suited for contexts where the instrument must "stand out": wind orchestra, brass band, orchestra, or brass section in ensemble. It also remains relevant for versatile playing, as long as one appreciates a clear emission and strong presence.

Sound and Design

The qualities of this Classic translate into a full and carried sound, with an easy air sensation facilitated by the open backbore and the large bore. This type of configuration tends to favor projection and ease in sustained dynamics, while maintaining good attack response speed. The cup diameter of 25.20 mm and the rim width of 6.66 mm contribute to the balance between centering, airflow, and stability, while the silver-plated finish ensures a comfortable touch and a classic aesthetic, much appreciated both on stage and in rehearsal.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To protect the silver-plated finish and avoid impacts, a hard mouthpiece case (universal size) is a simple and relevant choice. A microfiber cloth dedicated to brass will also help limit oxidation and maintain a clean appearance after each session. For routine maintenance, prioritize a cleaner suitable for mouthpieces and a rinse/dry routine to preserve hygiene and playing sensations.
