Denis Wick Mouthpieces have been individually designed and continually modified under Mr. Wick's personal supervision until absolute perfection of tone quality and intonation has been achieved. Made in Britain by fine craftsmen, every mouthpiece is hand finished to precise tolerances, with an excellent standard of polishing and plating.

All DW tenor (alto) horn mouthpieces use deep funnel cups for maximum quality of tone and flexibility with matched throats and backbores for perfect intonation.
