Detail 01
Deep cup
More internal volume, so the tone darkens and rounds. Takes more air and softens the high register.

Denis WickDW5884 Classic Series Flugelhorn Mouthpiece in Silver 2FL
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Deep-cup, large-diameter flugelhorn mouthpiece with a US shank. For players who want maximum warmth and body and already have the chops to feed it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead or section flugel work needing a dark, covered sound
- Players with developed air support and endurance
- Flugelhorns built for a standard USA shank receiver
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Horns with a medium European shank receiver — it won't seat right
- Beginners still building embouchure strength and air
- Players wanting bright projection or easy upper register
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
17mm cup diameter
The widest in this series. More lip vibrates, giving a bigger sound but tiring you faster.
Detail 03
4.88mm rim width
Narrowest rim here. More flexibility and slotting freedom, less cushion over a long set.
Detail 04
4.60mm throat
A wider throat than the shallow-cup models, letting more air through for volume at the cost of resistance.
Detail 05
Open backbore
Less back-pressure. The sound spreads and blooms rather than focusing into a narrow core.
Detail 06
Standard USA shank
Determines whether it seats in your leadpipe at all. European-shank horns need the F-series equivalents instead.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your flugelhorn's receiver — USA shank versus medium European shank is not interchangeable
- 02Mouthpiece only. No pouch, case, or brush included
- 03Deep cups need more air; expect an adjustment period coming from a trumpet piece
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my flugelhorn?
Only if your horn takes a standard USA shank. Many flugelhorns use a medium European shank, which needs the F-series versions of this line instead. Check the receiver before ordering.
02What is the difference between 2FL and 3FL or 4FL?
Cup diameter and rim width. The 2FL is widest at 17mm with the narrowest 4.88mm rim; 3FL is 16.75mm, 4FL is 16.50mm with progressively wider rims.
03Is this good for a beginner?
Not the easiest starting point. The deep cup and 17mm diameter demand steady air and embouchure strength. A smaller diameter in the same series is a gentler entry.
04Does the silver plating change the sound?
Plating mainly affects feel and wear resistance on the lips. Cup depth, diameter, throat, and backbore are what shape the sound here.
