Denis Wick's new 'Ultra' mouthpices have been creating something of a stir.

Even after producing the most iconic mouthpieces in banding history over the last 40 years or more, the new 'Ultra' range has surpassed the highest expectations.

A spokesperson for Denis Wick said: "Steven Mead has done a fantastic job on the development of the new designs. He demands very high standards, but the results are fantastic."

Reactions:

Reactions to the new Ultra mouthpieces include:

"If you liked the former Steve Mead mouthpieces you will LOVE the newly designed Denis Wick SM Ultra series!"

New design

With a newly designed rim and shape to the mouthpiece the performer will immediately notice an increased sense of endurance, improved articulation and intonation, and a great deal of enhanced power in both the high and low registers.

Research

"If you liked the former Steve Mead mouthpieces you will LOVE the newly designed Denis Wick SM Ultra series! With years of research Steve has now designed the /ultimate/ in euphonium mouthpieces. I give it my highest recommendation!"

"The new ultra mouthpieces are "simply sensational"! I fell in love with the SM3U immediately and this is what I will always use now."

Riki McDonnell

"In the solos I felt in fantastic control throughout . Overall 'very pleased' would be an understatement."

John Starkes,
Solo Euphonium

"I knew I was changing to the SM4U after my first note. The mouthpiece offers a large range of colors while maintaining the power, production, and projection I like in a mouthpiece. It just feels great to play on."

Matt Krening

"I think you may have just done me an enormous favour. Thanks lots!"
