Denis WickDW4880 Classic Series Trombone Mouthpiece in Gold 2AL
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Denis Wick 2AL in gold plate — a large-shank bass trombone mouthpiece with a wide rim and dark, traditional orchestral sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bass trombonists playing orchestral and symphonic repertoire
- Players needing full, dark low register without losing the top
- Anyone whose current rim feels too narrow over long sessions
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small-bore tenor trombones — the large shank will not fit
- Lead and commercial playing that needs a bright, cutting edge
- Developing players who may find a 27mm cup hard to control
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Large shank
Fits large-bore tenor and bass trombone receivers only. Check your receiver before ordering.
Detail 03
6.73mm rim width
A wider rim spreads pressure across the lips, which helps stamina on long orchestral programs.
Detail 04
7.30mm throat
An open throat lets you push volume without the sound closing off in loud passages.
Detail 05
Barrel backbore
Adds resistance and darkens the core, giving the traditional symphonic bass sound rather than a bright one.
Detail 06
Gold plating
Feels slightly slicker and warmer on the lip than silver, and is an option if silver irritates your skin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as a mouthpiece only — no pouch or case included
- 02Changing rim size takes weeks of adjustment; do not switch before a concert
- 03Confirm large versus small shank on your horn, they are not interchangeable
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the 2AL a bass trombone mouthpiece?
Yes. With a 27mm cup, wide rim and barrel backbore, it is aimed at bass trombone and orchestral playing.
02Will this fit my trombone?
Only if your horn has a large-shank receiver, typical of large-bore tenor and bass trombones. Small-bore horns need a small-shank model.
03How does the 2AL compare to the 1AL?
The 1AL is larger at 27.11mm with an open backbore and freer blow. The 2AL is slightly smaller with a barrel backbore, so it feels more secure up high.
04Does gold plating change the sound?
The difference is mostly in feel — gold is slicker on the lip. Choose it for comfort or for silver sensitivity, not for tone.
