Denis WickDW3180 Heritage Series Trombone Mouthpiece in Gold 6BS
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a small-shank trombone, the gold Heritage Series 6BS brings a medium-shallow cup design to an all-around role. It has a 25.30 mm cup diameter, 6.26 mm rim width, 6.66 mm throat, and V-type backbore, with an emphasis on improved high-register work. The Heritage approach adds material around the throat and backbore but uses thinner upper walls, intended to keep response sensitive at soft dynamics while supporting power, clearer overtones, and easier upper-register articulation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small-shank trombone players seeking an all-around mouthpiece with a medium-shallow cup.
- Playing that benefits from the 6BS’s stated high-register improvement.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trombones that require a large-shank mouthpiece.
