Denis WickDW2186 Heritage Series Tuba Mouthpiece in Silver 1XL
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 1XL Heritage Series mouthpiece is designed for large tubas, using a 32.5mm cup diameter and 8.43mm throat. Its wider, rounded rim is a defining part of the model, while the 1XL is specified for substantial volume and range. Heritage construction places a thin 1.2mm cup wall near the rim and more metal at the bottom of the cup, bringing together responsive playing, rich sound, and an easier high register. Gold-plated rim and cup surfaces meet a silver-plated body.
Strong match
Who this is for
