Denis Wick Cornet Mouthpieces
Denis Wick enjoys an international reputation as a virtuoso
trombonist and brass teacher. He was Principal Trombone of the London Symphony
Orchestra for over 30 years and was for many years a Professor at the Guildhall
School of Music and Drama.
Mr. Wick interest in mouthpiece design began when he evolved his
own mouthpiece after many years of careful experimenting. In consultation with
Britain's finest brass players, Denis Wick began to develop better mouthpieces,
using both traditional and new ideas.
All Denis Wick Mouthpieces have been individually designed and
continually modified under Mr. Wick's personal supervision until absolute
perfection of tone quality and intonation has been achieved.
