Denis WickDW5881 Classic Series Cornet Mouthpiece in Silver 2B
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Silver-plated cornet mouthpiece in Denis Wick's 2B size: the widest cup in the Classic range paired with a narrow rim and tight V backbore.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cornet players wanting a large cup without an open, spreading sound
- Lead and upper-register work where clarity matters more than width
- Stepping up from a stock student mouthpiece to a graded size
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet players — the cornet shank won't seat in a trumpet receiver
- Developing players; a 17mm cup takes air and endurance to fill
- Anyone chasing a free-blowing feel — the V backbore resists more
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
4.92mm rim width
Narrow rim. Favors flexibility and clean articulation over cushion, so long sessions tire the lip faster.
Detail 03
4.27mm throat
Tighter than the 4.572mm throat on the open-backbore models. More resistance to push against, which steadies pitch up high.
Detail 04
V-type backbore
Funnels and focuses the air column, tightening the sound. The plain 2 with its open backbore blows freer and spreads wider.
Detail 05
The B in 2B
Cup and rim match the plain 2 exactly. The B swaps in the narrower throat and V backbore.
Detail 06
Silver plating
Slightly grippier on the lip than raw brass and it wears at contact points over years. Replating is routine repair work.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cornet shank only — it will not fit a trumpet.
- 02Changing cup size resets your embouchure; expect weeks of adjustment before judging it.
- 03Coming off a wider rim, 4.92mm will feel sharp at first.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for trumpet or cornet?
Cornet. The shank is cut for a cornet receiver and won't seat correctly in a trumpet.
02What's the difference between the 2 and the 2B?
Both use a 17mm cup and 4.92mm rim. The 2 has a 4.572mm throat and open backbore; the 2B tightens to 4.27mm with a V backbore for a more focused sound.
03How does the 2B compare to the 3B?
The 3B has a smaller 16.75mm cup and wider 5.05mm rim, described as brilliant and very focused. The 2B is the bigger cup with the narrower rim.
04Will it help my high register?
The narrow throat and V backbore add resistance, which most players find makes the top easier to control. The 17mm cup still takes real air.
