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.

"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!"
