A Collaboration That Has Become a Reference at Denis Wick
Founded by Denis Wick, a musician from a London orchestra, the brand has established itself as a worldwide reference for brass accessories thanks to meticulous craftsmanship and high standards. The Classic Steven Mead mouthpieces were born from a collaboration with one of the most recognized artists, offering a "classic" approach serving modern playing. In this Signature version, the base remains close to a Classic, with a slightly refined shank and cup diameter to gain precision and a centered feel.
For Which Musician and Uses?
This mouthpiece is primarily aimed at euphonium players (and more broadly instrumentalists seeking a "Classic" type mouthpiece) of intermediate to advanced level, as well as musicians in demanding contexts: wind orchestra, brass band, concert fanfare, classical and variety repertoire. It is particularly suitable for those who want to maintain a traditional feel while gaining control over attack and intonation.
Sound and Design
With a cup diameter of 26.40 mm, this mouthpiece promotes a full sound and solid foundation in the mid-low register, while maintaining precise response. The 7.62 mm cup diameter helps stabilize sound production and clarify the attack, useful for articulated passages and delicate entrances. The 6.80 mm rim thickness offers an excellent balance between comfort and endurance, limiting fatigue during long rehearsals. The barrel-type shank with wide stem contributes to a feeling of support and balanced projection, while the silver-plated finish enhances contact quality and playing consistency.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the silver-plated finish and hygiene, a microfiber cloth and a mouthpiece cleaning product are recommended. Additionally, a hard mouthpiece case is an excellent choice to prevent shocks inside the instrument case.
