Denis WickDW4884 Classic Series Flugelhorn Mouthpiece in Gold 2FL
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Deep-cup flugelhorn mouthpiece with a 17mm cup, the widest in this line. For players who want flugel to sound clearly darker than trumpet.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Big band and jazz doubling, especially ballads and section flugel
- Trumpet players who want a real tonal shift when they switch horns
- Flugelhorns with a standard USA shank receiver
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Horns with a European or French taper — the 2F fits those
- Players who want brighter attack and an easier top end
- Anyone hoping to use it on a trumpet; the shank differs
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
Deep cup
The main thing separating flugel tone from trumpet: darker, more covered, softer attack, less carrying edge.
Detail 03
17mm cup diameter
Widest in this line. More lip vibrates, so low and mid range fill out and the upper register takes more work.
Detail 04
4.88mm rim width
Narrowest rim here. More flexibility and a clearer sense of slotting, less cushion over a long set.
Detail 05
4.60mm throat
Standard across the deep-cup models. Keeps the darkness without choking airflow on sustained lines.
Detail 06
Gold plating
Warmer and slicker on the lip than silver, and it will not tarnish. Useful if silver bothers your skin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Identify your receiver taper first — USA, European and French shanks are not interchangeable
- 02Cup depth shifts pitch centering; recheck your tuning slide after switching
- 03Nothing but the mouthpiece here — no pouch, no shank adapter
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my flugelhorn?
Only if your horn takes a standard USA shank. If it uses a medium European taper, the 2F is the identical mouthpiece cut for that receiver. Check before ordering.
02What is the difference between the 2FL and the 2F?
Nothing but the shank. Both have a 17mm cup, 4.88mm rim, 4.60mm throat, deep cup and open backbore. The 2FL is USA shank, the 2F medium European.
03How is the 2FL different from the 2BFL?
Same 17mm cup diameter and rim, but the 2BFL has a medium-deep cup instead of a deep one. That means a brighter tone and an easier upper register.
04Can I use my trumpet mouthpiece in a flugelhorn?
No. Flugel receivers use a different shank taper, and a trumpet cup is far shallower — you would lose the dark, covered sound that makes a flugelhorn worth carrying.
