Detail 01
Flugelhorn-specific
The shank taper is cut for flugelhorn receivers. A trumpet mouthpiece jammed in with an adapter never seats properly.

Denis WickFlugelhorn Mouthpiece Silver 3Fl
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Denis Wick flugelhorn mouthpiece in size 3, silver finish. For flugelhorn players replacing a stock piece or wanting a roomier cup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Trumpet doublers who want a dedicated flugelhorn piece instead of an adapter
- Big band and section players covering flugelhorn parts regularly
- Replacing a worn or plating-flaked mouthpiece on an existing horn
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet or cornet — the shank taper is different
- Players who prefer a shallow, bright cup for lead work
- Anyone unsure of their horn's shank size
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
Size 3
Lower numbers are larger in this range, so a 3 is roomier than a 4 or 5.
Detail 03
Silver finish
Feels slightly grippier and cooler on the lip than gold plating, and shows wear more visibly over time.
Detail 04
Denis Wick
Sizing is consistent across their range, so moving to a 4 later is a predictable step, not a guess.
Detail 05
$93
Mid-priced for a flugelhorn mouthpiece. Cheaper than a horn upgrade and it moves the sound more.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Flugelhorn shanks vary by maker — confirm yours takes this taper before ordering
- 02Mouthpiece only. No pouch, brush or adapter included
- 03Plating wears at the rim over years of playing; that is normal, not a defect
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my flugelhorn?
It is cut with a flugelhorn shank, but shank tapers differ between makers. Check your horn's receiver size against this piece before buying.
02Can I use this on a trumpet?
No. The shank taper is for flugelhorn receivers and will not seat correctly in a trumpet or cornet.
03How does size 3 compare to a 4?
Lower numbers are larger in this range, so the 3 has a roomier cup than a 4. Larger cups take more air to fill.
04Is silver or gold plating better?
It is a feel and skin preference, not a quality difference. Silver runs slightly grippier and cooler; some players react to it and choose gold instead.
