Denis WickDW5882 Classic Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver 1C
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Large silver trumpet mouthpiece, 17.25mm cup and 5mm rim. For symphonic and concert players who want size without the model 1's difficulty.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral and concert band work needing volume behind the sound
- Model 1 players wanting the same cup with better upper-register focus
- Developed players moving up from a 16.50mm or 16.75mm cup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners — the 4B is the easy-blowing starter size here
- Lead and jazz playing; the V-backbore 3E, 4E and 5E project brighter
- Anyone short on air, a large cup punishes an underdeveloped sound
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
3.90mm throat
The widest throat in this trumpet line. Takes noticeably more air than the 3.70mm models and blows freer.
Detail 03
5mm rim width
Middle of the range. Enough contact for endurance without the cushion feel of the 5X's 6mm rim.
Detail 04
Barrel backbore
Keeps the sound centered and even. The V-type backbores in this line trade that for brightness and cutting power.
Detail 05
1C versus the plain 1
Same 17.25mm cup and 5mm rim, but the C plays easier, responds more flexibly and focuses better up high.
Detail 06
Silver plating
Firm, slightly grippy feel under the lip. Wears at the rim contact point over years and can be replated.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece only — no pouch or case
- 02Trumpet shank; it will not seat in a cornet or flugelhorn receiver
- 03Moving up a cup size costs endurance for a few weeks before it returns
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How does the 1C compare to the 3C?
The 3C is smaller at 16.75mm with a 3.70mm throat — freer blowing and easier to control. The 1C is bigger and darker, with more volume available.
02Can I use this for jazz or lead playing?
It's the wrong end of the line for that. The 5E and 3E use V-type backbores for a bright, crisp screamer sound; the 4X and 5X are the jazz cushion-rim options.
03Will a large cup improve my sound?
Only if you can fill it. The 3.90mm throat needs real air support. Without it, you lose range and endurance before you gain tone.
04What does the C mean?
It marks a variant of the base model. The 1C keeps the model 1's dimensions but plays more easily and with more flexibility.
