Denis Wick - 3180G-3AL Heritage trombone plaquée or 3AL

The Denis Wick 3180G-3AL Heritage trombone mouthpiece features a 26.4 mm bowl, a size that offers a good balance between fullness and control. This size makes it possible to obtain a full sound without losing precision. You'll immediately feel a crisp response, useful for both technical passages and broad, lilting lines.

The 6.88 mm rim provides secure contact under the lips. It supports the delivery without feeling crushed, which helps maintain flexibility. During extended rehearsals or demanding concerts, this comfort makes a real difference.

The 7.38 mm throat ensures good air circulation. You can develop a generous sound volume while maintaining a clean, well-defined sound. The wide shank backbore barrel enhances depth and provides a solid foundation, particularly appreciated in orchestras or brass ensembles.

The Heritage design places more mass towards the base of the bowl and close to the throat. This construction stabilises the sound and gives it greater density. The thinner top walls make for livelier articulation and easier access to higher registers.

The gold plating gives a soft, pleasant feel to the lips. It enhances playing comfort and adds a warm touch. With this 3AL model, you have a mouthpiece that supports both the great symphonic works and the fanfare or chamber music repertoires, with a clear, rich, well-anchored sound.
