Denis Wick - 2186-3XL Heritage tuba argentée 3XL

The Denis Wick 2186-3XL Heritage tuba mouthpiece stands out for its marked comfort and generous breath. With a bowl diameter of 31.5 mm, it maintains a dense, well-anchored sound base. The wide 8.9 mm rim provides a reassuring feeling of support, particularly appreciated during long rehearsals or concerts. You can feel that the mouthpiece remains stable, even when the pressure increases.

The 8.78 mm throat allows air to pass through smoothly and powerfully. This opening supports a high volume of sound without giving a feeling of suffocation. The wide-tail Backbore Barrel enhances the roundness of the timbre and spreads the sound around the room. The sound becomes fuller and retains its depth even in strong nuances.

The Heritage design repositions the mass towards the base of the bowl, refocusing the vibration and giving more body to each note. The thinner top walls facilitate articulation, despite the width of the rim. The result is clean attacks with good continuity between registers.

The silver finish ensures a smooth surface that's pleasant to the lips and long-lasting. The silver also contributes to a feeling of clarity in emission. This tuba mouthpiece is particularly suited to symphonic settings, powerful brass ensembles or works where the sound base needs to support the whole orchestra. This is a model that favours fullness, stability and presence, without sacrificing precision.
