The British virtuoso euphonium player, Steven Mead, has co-operated in the subtle design modifications needed to make the finest range of euphonium mouthpieces available in the
world today. Although they are all based on the well worked principles of the Denis Wick trombone mouthpieces, they all offer small but significant refinements which make them
the choice of the best euphonium players. This has now been extended with the new 'Ultra' range.

Maurice Murphy, for 30 years Principal Trumpet of the LSO, and a truly legendary figure in
the world of trumpet playing, has teamed up with former LSO Principal Trombonist, Denis
Wick, to design these trumpet mouthpieces. Reflecting Maurice's unique playing style, their
customised Tottle backbores help provide a brilliant and powerful yet lyrical sound, with
superb control at all dynamics.
Each model gives the player subtly different tone colours and individual characteristics. From the grandest symphonic sounds of the largest types to the shallowest and most
brilliant jazz mouthpieces, and for C, D and piccolo trumpets every need is provided for. The HEAVYTOP mouthpieces are increasingly popular with the younger generation
of professional symphonic trumpeters and amateurs continue to enjoy the user-friendly regular models.

Denis Wick has revolutionised the world of cornet playing and has helped to bring about a real difference between cornet and trumpet sounds. Carefully worked out cups, throats and bores
have given todays superbly talented young players opportunities that were simply not available to earlier generations. The richness, sweetness and flexibility of modern cornet playing, so much
a characteristic of the best brass bands are attributable to the careful research which Denis Wick has done in cornet mouthpiece design.

The world of the horn is different in every way from that of the other brasses. Traditionally, very narrow rims were used which made the instrument unnecessarily difficult. Horn players often dug
the rim into the bottom lip, einsetzen. For some of the more modern players, the other type is with 5mm wide rims to give additional support if needed.
Young musicians have found that they can easily transfer to the horn after having played trumpet, for instance.

Especially for the professional tuba player, new mouthpieces have been introduced to give even more volume and projection. They are a little more difficult to control, but the extra
effort repays dividends. The inner rim contours are a little rounder for players who need to spend long hours in practice or performance. Much research has gone into the subtle
reworking of the exterior shape to give even more powerful maximum dynamics and volume in all registers.

The entire Denis Wick range of mouthpieces began with a mouthpiece conceived to suit the needs of the London Symphony trombone section playing in the unhelpful acoustic of the
Royal Festival Hall in the 1960s. This original design (now the 4AL) has remained popular, but has generated many other types, each of which is made to fulfil a specific function.
There is a characteristic clarity, warmth and beauty of sound which no other maker has been able to match. Intonation and flexibility have been brought to a state of perfection
which has helped to create the highest standard of trombone playing ever, in all areas of activity.
Tuba
Flugel Horn
SFL
The true flugel horn sound is not to be found on any other brass instrument. By using really deep cups and carefully matching throats and backbores, Denis Wick has
created the real flugel horn tone quality that is possibly one of the most beautiful sounds ever made on a brass instrument. Flugel horn players can enjoy their own special sound with
perfect intonation. There is also a range of flugelhorn mouthpieces for German-style flugelhorns. These mouthpieces have a smaller fitting and a much shallower cup suitable for use in
rotary-valve flugels and for playing the high, melodic lines associated with these instruments. They have a 'D' (for Deutsch) suffix. Check the Denis Wick website for details.

The HEAVYTOP models for cornet, trumpet and trombone use a completely different principle in not feeding back to the player the vibration of the instruments, transmitting all the
energy through to the bell. This gives a much more powerful sound when needed, more security in the high register and more control and focus in all registers.
MUTES
NEW - The start of a new range of versatile fibre mutes. This is a classic
design which gives a clear, precise sound and is perfect for use either in
jazz or symphonic music. The intonation and response is excellent and
it works well at all dynamic levels. Fits in both large bore and smaller
bore instruments and produces an even tone in all registers. For players
who only want to carry one mute this is the perfect choice.
All Denis Wick metal straight mutes are made from high purity spun
aluminium, scotchbrite finished and bright silver anodised. The well
known 5504 and 5521 trumpet and piccolo trumpet models are now
complemented by a new straight mute for D trumpet and Eb cornet.
There is also a new model for alto trombone which also suits flugel
horns with older type small bells. The Denis Wick straight trumpet and
trombone mutes have a brilliance and carrying power which make them
the choice of the world's finest professionals. The trombone and bass
trombone models work perfectly in all registers and are easier to handle
than other makes. The french horn mute is widely respected amongst
professionals and the euphonium is outstandingly the best available
today. The baritone mute now completes the range of straight mutes for
all the brass band instruments. The tuba mute has more clarity and is
superior in all registers than any other so far developed. It is supplied
with extra cork pieces to fit larger tubas. All Denis Wick straight mutes
have excellent intonation and are well matched when played together.
Denis Wick cup mutes have the perfect intonation that has become
the hallmark of all Denis Wick mutes, with the added bonus that the
cup position can be adjusted to give exactly the desired sound
Denis Wick E.T. mutes are well engineered Wow mutes of traditional
design. They all work well with tubes either in, extended, or removed.
The trombone and bass trombone models are particularly good in the
usually difficult low register.
PRACTICE MUTES
Denis Wick practice mutes are perhaps the best teaching aid ever
invented. Not only do they fulfil the need for the IN TUNE painless
practice, so essential in the development of every young player and
an indispensible hotel mute for the professional, but they also
make possible an enormous improvement in tone quality using the
STOPPING MUTE
It has been a closely guarded secret for many years amongst the
best European brass players that wooden straight mutes give a
very special tone colour, especially in soft playing because they
must be hand-made, these mutes have always been expensive and
difficult to find. By using new and ingenious manufacturing
