Detail 01
17.50mm cup diameter
The widest in the Classic line. More lip vibrates, so the sound gets bigger and darker but takes more air.

Denis WickDW5882 Classic Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver 1X
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Denis Wick's largest Classic trumpet mouthpiece, the 1X, in silver. Built for symphonic players who want a big sound and a very wide rim.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral and large-ensemble players chasing volume and depth
- Long sessions where a wide rim saves your chops
- Players who already play large — 1 or 1C territory
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead and commercial playing that needs a bright, compact sound
- Beginners; a 17.50mm cup is hard to control early on
- Small-cup players — the jump in size is large
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
5.23mm rim width
Extra wide. Spreads pressure across the lip for endurance, at the cost of some flexibility and fine control.
Detail 03
3.90mm throat
Open throat. Free blowing with more low-end body; you'll feel less back-pressure than on a standard throat.
Detail 04
Barrel backbore
Keeps the sound centered and even across registers rather than adding the extra edge a V-type backbore gives.
Detail 05
Based on the Wallace 1870 F trumpet
A large-bore heritage design, which is why the proportions run bigger than modern all-purpose pieces.
Detail 06
Silver finish
Cooler, slightly firmer feel on the lip than gold. Some players react to silver against skin over long sessions.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch, case or cleaning brush included

- 03Give yourself weeks to adjust if you're moving up in size
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How big is the 1X compared to the 1?
The 1X is larger: 17.50mm cup versus 17.25mm on the 1, with a wider rim. Both use a 3.90mm throat and barrel backbore.
02Is this good for lead playing?
No. The large cup, open throat and barrel backbore push toward a broad symphonic sound. The V-type backbore models like the 5E or 3E are the screamer pieces.
03Will the wide rim help my endurance?
It spreads mouthpiece pressure over more of the lip, which many players find easier over long sessions. You trade away some flexibility and precision in return.
04What trumpets does it fit?
It's a Bb-style trumpet mouthpiece. Confirm your receiver takes a standard trumpet shank, since cornet and flugelhorn receivers are different.
