Denis Wick - 3180G-2AL Heritage trombone plaquée or 2AL

The Denis Wick 3180G-2AL Heritage trombone mouthpiece has a bowl diameter of 27.10 mm, for a wide, enveloping sound. This size gives fullness right from the first notes. You'll feel a real presence in the lower register, with a breath that flows freely.

The 6.7 mm rim provides reassuring support under the lips. It remains comfortable, even during long rehearsals or demanding concerts. You can hold your phrases without excessive fatigue.

The 7.3 mm throat allows a large volume of air to pass through. This allows you to develop a rich, dense timbre, particularly appreciated by symphony orchestras and brass bands. The wide shank backbore barrel supports this feeling of openness and adds depth to the sound.

The Heritage design moves the mass towards the base of the bowl and close to the throat. This distribution enhances stability and gives more body to each note. Thinner top walls improve responsiveness, which helps with clean attacks and sustained passages.

The gold plating gives a softer feel on the lips. This finish is appreciated for its comfort and warm feel. It also contributes to better grip, especially when you're playing for long periods.

With this 2AL model, you get a mouthpiece that supports big melodic lines as well as powerful passages. The sound remains centred, full and expressive, without losing clarity. Whether you're playing classical, romantic or contemporary repertoire, you'll have a solid base from which to assert your sonic identity.
