Denis Wick Heavy Top 1AL Silver-Plated (Bass Trombone)

Heavy Top: the Denis Wick experience for brass instruments

A musician with the London Symphony Orchestra, Denis Wick created his accessories to address the acoustic challenges encountered at the Royal Festival Hall. Over half a century, the British brand has become a benchmark for brass accessories. The Heavy Top range continues this pursuit of sound efficiency.

Giving the bass trombone a solid sound foundation

This mouthpiece will appeal to bass trombonists looking for a stable, grounded sound, particularly in orchestras or brass ensembles. Choosing the 1AL model depends on your playing habits and comfort.

Increased mass for a denser sound

Adding material around the mouthpiece reduces scattered vibrations and promotes energy transfer to the instrument. The Heavy Top design thus aims to improve projection, meaning the ability of the sound to carry through a space.
