A Mouthpiece Rooted in Denis Wick Expertise
Founded by Denis Wick, a musician of the London Symphony Orchestra, the brand has established itself as a global reference for brass accessories. The Heritage series embodies this artisanal standard, aiming for a balance between power, precision, and playing comfort.
For Which Musician and Usage?
This mouthpiece is designed for trombonists (small bore configuration) seeking a dense sound and quick response: classical, wind orchestra, brass band, but also jazz when maintaining firmness and projection is desired.
Sound and Design
The cup diameter (lip contact area) promotes breadth, while the thinner rim enhances precision. The throat (air passage) and small bore help maintain direct emission, with clean attacks and good harmonic clarity. The medium backbore corresponds to the part that inserts into the instrument.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the finish: a universal hard case for mouthpieces and a mouthpiece brush/swab (for regular cleaning, without abrasives).
