Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for tenor or alto horn players who want the 1A’s deeper cup profile, this silver Classic Series mouthpiece places its emphasis on pedal notes and a strong low register. Its 19.50 mm cup diameter, 5.82 mm rim width, 5.20 mm throat, and V-type backbore define the 1A layout. Denis Wick uses deep funnel cups across this tenor/alto horn range, with matched throats and backbores aimed at tone flexibility and intonation.
