Denis WickDW6882 HeavyTop Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver 1C
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated trumpet mouthpiece with a thicker outer wall than a standard Denis Wick. The 1C is a large cup for players who want volume and low-register weight.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Symphonic and large-ensemble players needing a broad, full sound
- Trumpeters who already play a large cup comfortably
- Players wanting more slotting stability from added mass
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead and commercial players who live above the staff
- Beginners with undeveloped embouchure strength
- Anyone with limited practice time to adapt to a new rim
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
3.90mm throat
Wider than the 3.70mm sizes. Air moves more freely for volume, at the cost of some back-pressure to lean on.
Detail 03
5mm rim width
Narrow to medium. Flexible and slur-friendly, but less cushion than the 5.75mm 4X rim over long sessions.
Detail 04
HeavyTop construction
Extra mass around the cup. Notes center more firmly and the sound stays compact when pushed hard.
Detail 05
Barrel backbore
Even taper rather than a V. Keeps the tone rounded and centered across registers instead of biasing brightness.
Detail 06
Silver plating
Standard finish, slightly grippier than gold under the lip. Wears through with heavy use over years.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only. No pouch, case, or brush included.
- 02Confirm your trumpet takes a standard small-shank receiver.
- 03Expect a break-in period before your range settles on a new cup size.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does HeavyTop actually change?
The added mass at the cup and rim resists vibration loss. Notes lock in more firmly and the core of the sound holds together at higher volume.
02How does 1C compare to 1 1/2C?
The 1C is 17.25mm with a 3.90mm throat; the 1 1/2C is 17mm with a 3.80mm throat and a slightly wider rim for more stability and comfort.
03Is this good for lead playing?
No. The large cup and open throat favor volume and fullness. The 4X, with its smaller 16.50mm cup and V backbore, is built for the high register.
04Will it fit my cornet?
No. This is a trumpet mouthpiece with a trumpet shank. Cornets use a different, shorter shank.
