Detail 01
19 mm cup diameter
One of the widest in the range. More lip vibrates inside the cup, which fills out low notes but tires you faster.

Denis WickDW4883 Classic Series Tenor Horn Mouthpiece in Gold 2
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-plated tenor horn mouthpiece with a wide 19 mm cup. For players who want a big, open sound and a strong low register.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Brass band players covering the low end of the horn section
- Anyone wanting more volume and body below the staff
- Players whose current mouthpiece feels tight or pinched
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- High-part specialists who need easy upper register endurance
- Small-lipped or younger players; 19 mm is a lot of rim
- Trumpet or French horn players — the shank will not fit
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
5.82 mm rim width
A narrower rim than the 3, 4 and 5. Better flexibility and slurring, less cushion on long sessions.
Detail 03
5.20 mm throat
Same throat as every Classic Series tenor horn model, so airflow resistance stays familiar if you switch sizes.
Detail 04
V-type backbore
Conical taper rather than a straight bore. Rounder, darker tone that blends into a section instead of cutting over it.
Detail 05
Gold finish
Slicker and warmer against the lip than bare metal, and an option if silver plating irritates your skin.
Detail 06
Model 2 versus model 2A
Same 19 mm rim. The 2A adds cup depth for a richer sound; the 2 stays more open and direct.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only. No pouch, case or brush is included.
- 02Check the shank against your horn's receiver before playing on it.
- 03Give a cup-size change two to three weeks before judging it.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a tenor horn mouthpiece the same as an alto horn mouthpiece?
Yes. Tenor horn is the British name for the instrument called an alto horn in the US, so this fits either.
02Should I get the 2 or the 3?
The 3 has a 18.50 mm cup and a wider 6.07 mm rim, aimed at all-round band playing. The 2 is wider and built around low-register power.
03Will the gold finish wear off?
Plating wears at contact points with use. Wipe it dry after playing and clean with warm soapy water rather than abrasive metal polish.
04Is this a step up from a stock mouthpiece?
It is a specific choice, not a universal upgrade. It suits players who want low-register weight and a wider rim than a factory piece gives.
