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

The Denis Wick 2186-3SL Heritage tuba mouthpiece offers a more restrained and structured response, ideal if you want to refine your projection. Its 31.5 mm bowl diameter maintains a broad sound base, with a solid presence in the lower register. The 7.62mm throat creates more resistance than more open models, helping to control airflow. You'll feel greater control in attacks and articulate passages.

The wide-tailed Small backbore concentrates the sound and enhances precision. This configuration gives a more compact timbre, particularly useful in orchestral or chamber music applications where definition is paramount. Fast passages gain in clarity and piano nuances remain well centred. You can shape your phrases with finesse without losing stability.

The Heritage design redistributes mass towards the base of the bowl and throat, stabilising vibration and clarifying the harmonic spectrum. The lightened top walls make articulation more natural and responsive. The 8 mm rim provides balanced support that is comfortable over time, while retaining a precise feel under the lips.

The silver finish ensures a smooth, durable surface that's pleasant to the touch. The silver also contributes to a crisp, clean sound. With this tuba mouthpiece, you have a model that favours definition, sound retention and control, whether you're playing with a symphony orchestra, brass ensemble or a more contemporary repertoire!
