Stephen Wick and Steven Mead
 

Denis Wick Products has announced that Steven Mead is to take on a new role as International Ambassador for the world famous brand.

Steven will be involved in promoting Denis Wick mutes, mouthpieces and accessories all over the world, and will also be involved in the design, development and testing of new products.

Worldwide profile

The company believes that his own worldwide musical profile as a soloist and recording artist will see Steven bring his renowned energies to promoting Denis Wick Products through his concerts and masterclasses.

Honoured

Steven told 4BR: "From my earliest memory I was playing on a Denis Wick mouthpiece, and already then it was a trusted and highly respected brand.

My involvement with the company began in 1995 with the release of the SM Series of mouthpieces.

Since that time I've had an even closer connection with the staff at DWP and now feel very honoured to have been appointed to this new role as an International Ambassador for the company.

I'm looking forward to new innovative projects and being able to promote this fabulous brand at all my concerts and tours."

Fruitful

Meanwhile, Stephen Wick is very supportive of Steven’s connection with the company: "Steven’s involvement in the design of the euphonium and baritone mouthpieces has been hugely fruitful for many years.

His designs for the new Ultra euphonium mouthpieces have become best sellers all over the world.

We are looking forward to working together with Steven and to him becoming an ambassador for our products."
