Denis Wick - 4880E-SM5U Ultra euphonium plaquée or SM5U

The Denis Wick 4880E-SM5U Ultra gold-plated euphonium mouthpiece has been developed to meet the demands of musicians seeking power and control. Its more massive external design favours more assertive projection. This extra density helps the sound to spread better in a large hall.

The 25.75 mm bowl diameter offers a precise balance between fullness and control. The 6.3 mm thick rim provides a stable, comfortable feel on the lips. This width also contributes to better endurance during long playing sessions. The 7.40 mm grain provides a smooth, controlled airflow. This configuration facilitates smooth delivery in all registers.

Low notes retain depth without becoming heavy. The midrange remains centred and homogeneous. Treble notes benefit from extra support and better sustain. The internal shape combines funnel and bowl characteristics to enrich the timbre. The wide V-type tail helps to ensure balanced, stable sound diffusion. The gold-plated finish provides a soft, pleasant feel.

This model is equally suited to orchestral playing and demanding solo performances!
