DENIS WICK SILVER PLATED STEVEN MEADULTRA BARITONE HORN MOUTHPIECE DW5880B

The models of baritone mouthpieces that Denis Wick has made are the first range of mouthpieces designed by Steven Mead and manufactured for today s instruments. Wick baritone mouthpieces have precise design features that result in excellent tone, comfort and all-around performance.

This mouthpiece is the largest in this series possessing a small shank, suitable for all baritone and small shank euphoniums. With a rim diameter / width and cup depth/backbore similiar to the 4 (Ultra, SM, AL) euphonium mouthpieces, this mouthpiece will be the choice of players preferring a big full sound and whose lips are accustomed to this particular wider feel. It has the same external contour and metal distribution of the highly aclaimed Ultra euphonium mouthpieces, ensuring a clear tone allied to an ease of response and beautiful sining tone. The ful range of the instrument can be played with a great full sound. It's deep cup depth makes it the obvious choice for euphonium players using this size shank and for baritone players wanting that big tone.

This baritone mouthpiece possess all the features that have been so well received by euphonium players enjoying the orirignal Ultra series and here is the mouthpiece that we feel sure will be highly sought after by brass band baritonists. The general feel of this mouthpiece is of a midway size between the established SM4B and SM6B with a high degree of projection, opening up the lower register of the baritone whilst ensuring a fuller, bigger sound in the upper register. it is capable of great power with less effort.

We thought long and hard about this mouthpiece. The classic baritone mouthpiece over the years has been the 6BS, and the Ultra 6 takes this mouthpiece one step further. Although it will initially feel the same on the lips, it is a high perforamcne mouthpiece that is already receiving rave reveiws from the leading baritone soloists in the country. Although the inspiration for this was the 6BS we have modified the cup depth a little making it just slightly deeper, giving what many traditionalists feel is the perfect baritone sound. It's ease of playing and rich vibrant sound is sure to make a big impression. The high range is quite astonhishing and will allow hours of full playing with increased stamina.
