Denis Wick Classic Tuba Mouthpiece Type 3L (Silver Plated)

This orchestral mouthpiece stands as the pinnacle of tuba sound engineering, featuring a rounded cup design paired with an exceptionally large throat and backbore configuration that produces a magnificent organ-like tone quality. The generous 31.5mm cup diameter and massive 8.78mm throat create an incredibly rich low register that brings out the full potential of E flat tubas, making them sound like true orchestral instruments with remarkable depth and resonance.

While this model offers superior intonation stability compared to the VB 24AW, players will need well-developed embouchure strength to maintain accurate pitch in the extreme upper register due to the substantial throat opening. The large barrel backbore design contributes to the mouthpiece’s ability to produce a luxuriant, blending sound that works beautifully in both orchestral and band settings.

Comfort and control are assured through the well-defined inner rim edge and 8mm rim width, providing excellent grip and security during performance. The superior silver plating not only enhances durability but also contributes to the overall playing feel and response of this professional-grade mouthpiece.
