Denis Wick DW5880E-SM5X Steven Mead Ultra Euphonium - Silver Plated

A large shank euphonium mouthpiece with a slightly shallower cup than the regular Sm5U. It will facilitate greater ease throughout the whole range especially with this rim, in the upper register. It will also help achieve greater stamina and control.

All Wick euphonium mouthpieces are based on the proven principles of the trombone mouthpieces and offer subtle, yet significant, refinements to the throat and backbore to complement the euphonium's conical bore. Steven Mead models feature further refinements and result in a mouthpiece that excels in accuracy, articulation, flexibility, range and overall response.

The Steven Mead Ultra X series is for players looking for a sound that has more brilliance than the standard Ultra Series or classic Steven Mead Series. The cup has been rounded to a more defined bowl shaped which adds more brilliance to the tone and provides better upper register response. The rim has been altered to have a slightly sharper inner edge which increases articulation response and accuracy.
