Denis WickDW3180 Heritage Series Trombone Mouthpiece in Gold 6BL
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The gold Heritage Series 6BL is the large-shank, medium-shallow-cup option in this range. Its 25.30 mm cup diameter, 6.26 mm rim width, 6.66 mm throat, and V-type backbore define the model, which is positioned as an all-around mouthpiece with improved high-register performance. Heritage construction adds mass around the throat and backbore while keeping the upper walls thinner, a combination intended to preserve sensitivity at softer dynamics and support clearer overtones, response, and articulation higher up.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Large-shank trombone players wanting an all-around mouthpiece with a medium-shallow cup.
- Playing that calls for the 6BL’s improved high-register focus.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
