Denis Wick Steven Mead Ultra Euphonium Mouthpiece

The Denis Wick Steven Mead Ultra Euphonium Mouthpiece was developed with Steven Mead for players looking for a powerful, focused euphonium sound with good support and response in the upper register. The heavier outer shape adds mass for projection, while the updated cup combines elements of a funnel and bowl shape. A slightly sharper inner rim edge adds to the response and flexibility of the mouthpiece. The Ultra series is available in several cup sizes, with large and medium shank options. The Ultra X models use a slightly shallower, more defined cup shape than the standard Ultra models, giving players more brilliance and a stronger response in the upper register. The Ultra X also has a slightly sharper inner rim edge for improved articulation and accuracy. Silver plated.
