Denis WickDW3180 Heritage Series Trombone Mouthpiece in Gold 1AL
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The gold Heritage Series 1AL is a large-shank trombone mouthpiece with a 27.11 mm cup, 6.09 mm rim and 7.45 mm throat. Its open backbore is voiced for an open sound throughout the range, with rich, dark tone and a defined amount of resistance. Heritage-series mass is concentrated around the throat and backbore, while thinner upper walls are used to preserve response at softer dynamics and help upper-register articulation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Large-shank trombone setups seeking the 1AL’s open response and dark tonal direction.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small-shank trombones, because the 1AL is specified as a large-shank mouthpiece.
