Denis Wick: a British benchmark for brass accessories
Founded by Denis Wick, a musician from the London symphonic scene, the brand was born from a concrete need: to have accessories capable of optimizing response and projection in large venues. In a few decades, Denis Wick has established itself as a reliable choice among trumpeters and cornists, thanks to a wide and coherent range covering all playing situations, from orchestra sections to jazz clubs.
For which musician and playing situations
This wah-wah mute is aimed at intermediate, advanced, and professional musicians seeking precise and immediately usable effects. It naturally fits in jazz, big band, and stage music, but is also suitable for pop arrangements and orchestral passages requiring a modern "stopped" color.
Sound and design
Made of aluminum, the mute offers a metallic and darker sonic signature, with a clear attack and good presence in the mix. The central tube modifies resonance and the feeling of resistance: when adjusted, it allows fine-tuning the balance between projection and character, and when removed, it opens the door to a highly sought-after "wee-zee" sound for soft and expressive phrasing.
