Denis WickDW3180 Heritage Series Trombone Mouthpiece in Gold 5BS
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Denis Wick’s gold Heritage Series 5BS is a small-shank mouthpiece built around a 25.73 mm cup, 6.64 mm rim, 6.87 mm throat and medium backbore. It is designed to give a smaller-bore trombone large-bore-instrument qualities while maintaining a brilliant, solid upper register. The Heritage configuration adds mass near the throat and backbore, then uses thinner upper walls to keep the response sensitive at softer dynamics and aid upper-register articulation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small-bore trombone setups seeking a solid, brilliant high register from the 5BS.
- Players wanting a small-shank model designed to bring large-bore qualities to a smaller-bore trombone.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Large-shank trombones, since the 5BS uses a small shank.
