Denis Wick 3 Tenor / Alto Horn Classic Mouthpiece – Silver

The Denis Wick Classic 3 is one of the most widely used tenor / alto horn mouthpieces in brass bands. With a medium-wide cup and comfortable rim, it gives a secure feel, clear attack and an even response across the range, making it a very practical everyday choice for Eb horn players.

• Popular size 3 – medium-wide 18.50mm cup

• Silver-plated finish on a well-balanced brass blank

• Excellent accuracy, projection and response in all registers

• Comfortable 6.07mm rim width to support longer playing

• V-type backbore for a centred sound and easy control

• Designed to fit British-style tenor horns, not German rotary oval models

Why Choose the Denis Wick 3 Classic?

Denis Wick’s Classic range changed the way tenor horn mouthpieces were designed, moving away from scaled-up trumpet cups towards a deeper, more horn-like shape. The 3 sits in the middle of the range: large enough to give a warm, singing tone, but not so big that it becomes hard work in the upper register.

For brass band work, this makes it a very safe, everyday option. The response feels even from low register up to the top of the stave, articulation stays clean, and the sound blends well inside the section without getting thin or edgy. If you’re upgrading from a standard student mouthpiece, or you want a reliable main piece for band, contest and rehearsal use, the 3 Classic is a sensible place to start.
