Denis Wick 4880 Trombone 4,5AL

After using a 1-1/4 and a Peter Sullivan mouthpiece for 2nd and 3rd parts in my town band, this is the Goldilocks option: just right. On the Sullivan, I can't reach down below the pedal Ab comfortably. The bass mouthpiece slays pedal tones but is uncomfortable for me playing up at the Ab above the staff. If I practiced more than a few hours a month, this wouldn't be an issue, but here we are.

The Wick mouthpiece feels great, gets down low, gets up high, and has a clear tone that supports an ensemble.

The mouthpiece piece is excellent and arrived quickly and in immaculate condition. The gold plated version is just a matter of personal preference. It is helping me produce a much bigger and richer sound. Huge fortissimos. Deep, dark pianissimos and a sonorously warm sound in between!! Great intonation, secure articulations and smooth lip slurs. Highly recommend!!
