Denis Wick - 4881-4 Classic cornet plaquée or 4

The Denis Wick 4881-4 cornet mouthpiece is part of a tradition renowned for the quality of its tone and the precision of its manufacture. For decades, the Classic series has been accompanying demanding musicians in brass band, harmony and orchestra. This model 4 offers an interesting balance between comfort, projection and richness of sound.

With a bowl diameter of 16.5 mm, you benefit from natural support that makes it easier to get the notes right and keep them stable. The 5.13 mm wide rim provides reassuring, direct contact without excessive pressure. The 4.6 mm throat allows more air to pass through, resulting in an open sound and a full midrange. The open backbore supports this feeling of sonic space and gives greater freedom of nuance.

In concrete terms, this translates into a broad, luminous, full timbre, particularly suited to the singing lines of brass band repertoire or lyrical ensemble parts. The attacks remain clean, the projection natural, and the piano nuances retain their density. You can work on expressive passages as well as more assertive lines without feeling the instrument is restricted.

The gold plating plays an essential role in comfort. It provides a softer surface in contact with the lips and reduces the feeling of irritation during long rehearsals. This finish also adds a feeling of warmth and stability, which can be appreciated in all seasons.
