Denis Wick Classic Tuba Mouthpiece DW5286-3L

Denis Wick's most popular orchestral model, this has a rounded cup, huge throat and backbore and makes a rich organ-like sound.

This mouthpiece suffers fewer intonation problems than the VB 24AW, although strong chops are needed to maintain the pitch in very top register, as the throat is so huge. Massive low register- this transforms the sound of E flat tubas into a really full-toned orchestral instrument. This model is also very popular as a band mouthpiece, as it makes a very "blending" luxuriant sound. Excellent feeling of security with a well-defined inner edge to the rim, and plenty of 'grip' from the superb silver plating.

From solo literature to orchestral performance, Denis Wick tuba mouthpieces meet the requirements of every musical style. All models have great flexibility, produce rich sound and have clear overtones.
