A Denis Wick Signature, a Reference in Brass Accessories
Founded by Denis Wick, a musician of the London Symphony Orchestra, the brand developed its accessories to meet a very concrete need: achieving sufficient resonance and presence in large concert halls. In just a few decades, Denis Wick has become a worldwide reference, recognized for the quality of craftsmanship and the high standards of its British artisans. The Heritage series continues this tradition: a mouthpiece designed to offer sound density, clarity, and reliable control, even when the music demands power and endurance.
For Which Musicians and Styles?
This mouthpiece is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians seeking a more "carrying" mouthpiece, with immediate response and solid sound support. It is especially suitable for contexts where projection is essential: orchestra, marching band, brass band, stage music, and more broadly any ensemble playing requiring a strong presence. Its balance of power and control also makes it a relevant choice for players who want to secure intonation and homogeneity across the entire range.
Sound and Design
The Heritage concept is based on an effective combination: a weighted cup bottom to support the air column and enhance projection, and thinner rims to improve precision and control. The result is a more powerful sound, with clearer harmonics and optimized attack response. The mention of large bore indicates a configuration oriented towards a wider airflow, appreciated for its open feel and ability to fill the sound space. The V-shaped backbore contributes to the overall feel and stability of the sound production. Finally, the gold-plated finish provides a soft contact sensation and a premium aesthetic signature.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the brilliance of the finish and daily hygiene, a mouthpiece brush and a cleaning spray suitable for mouthpieces are particularly useful complements.
