Denis Wick - 3183G-3 Heritage saxhorn alto plaquée or 3

The Denis Wick 3183G-3 Heritage alto saxhorn mouthpiece gives you a full, structured sound. Its 18.5 mm bowl diameter gives you a broad sound with good depth in the midrange. You'll enjoy a rich timbre, particularly appreciated in brass band sections.

The 6.07 mm wide rim provides comfortable, stable support. This makes it easier to hold long phrases and maintain precise control, even when dynamics increase. You'll feel a real sense of security when playing, especially during sustained passages.

The 5.2 mm grain balances breath and resistance. The air circulates evenly, supporting projection without hardening the sound. The V-type backbore structures the air column and contributes to clean projection, ideal for standing out in an ensemble without straining.

The Heritage design redistributes the mass towards the base of the bowl and the throat. This architecture stabilises the instrument's response and makes for sharper attacks. The thinner top walls make articulation more flexible, particularly in the upper register, where precision is essential.

The gold plating improves comfort in contact with the lips and gives a softer feel than silver. It also has a slight influence on sound colour, adding a subtle warmth that enriches the natural timbre of the alto saxhorn.

Whether you're playing in a wind band, brass band or lyrical solo repertoire, this mouthpiece helps you keep your sound clear, expressive and focused. It supports your musicality without restricting your freedom to play, and accompanies you through every nuance.
