Denis Wick - 3183G Heritage Ténor Plaquée Or 2

Some mouthpieces transform the way you play; the Denis Wick 3183G Heritage for tenor horn is based on a bold idea - taking away material where you expect it, and adding it where it counts. The result is a piece that exudes technical intelligence.

Approach the top edge. It's thinned out. On paper, it looks harmless. In the mouth, it changes everything: no more feeling like a stopper when you attack the treble. Articulation in the higher registers becomes more spontaneous, almost natural. Your lip leads, the mouthpiece follows.

Now look inside. The throat of the bowl benefits from reinforced mass. This is the heart of the Heritage concept. This extra mass acts like a filter: it channels vibrations to deliver a tonal response that is both focused and surprisingly colourful. Harmonics emerge clearer and more defined. The V-Type rear bore completes the picture, providing a stable, direct air column.

In terms of dimensions, size 2 offers an intelligent compromise. With a 19 mm diameter bowl, a 5.82 mm edge width and a 5.2 mm bore, it's for the musician looking for a balance between support and flexibility. The gold plating isn't just for looks: it provides a soft surface that's pleasant to the touch.
