Denis Wick

collapse expand iconDescription

The Denis Wick DW3181G Heritage Series Cornet Mouthpiece offers a large amount of mass around the throat and backbore, with thinner walls towards the rim. This design makes the mouthpiece very responsive at soft dynamics and in the upper register with easy articulation, while producing a massive sound in the lower register and at loud dynamics. A great choice for the classical-focused player, the Denis Wick Heritage Series cornet mouthpieces are available in the same sizes as the corresponding standard Denis Wick Classic mouthpieces and are available in gold-plated finish.
