The new Heritage trombone mouthpiece from Denis Wick offers an alternative outside shape to classic Denis Wick design, whilst retaining the proven inner dimensions. The new Heritage design has been adapted from designs originally used in the 19th Century where a thinner cup wall was employed towards the top of the mouthpiece.
This has been combined with a large amount of mass around the bottom of the cup to create a mouthpiece with huge power but great sensitivity – ideal for the symphonic trombonist.
The Heritage range of trombone mouthpieces comes in all sizes and is finished with a silver-plated outside and a gold-plated rim and cup – a beautiful finish for a beautiful sounding mouthpiece!
Review of the Heritage 5AL Trombone mouthpiece
Revolutionary or retro…..that is the question! The flat-looking rim fills some with horror while the bulbous cup reminds others of a bygone age. The fact is that this combination of traditional and futuristic design promotes a wealth of overtones to produce a unique, beautiful, ringing tone and vivid articulation.
