DENIS WICK-Practice-Mute DW5587 for Euphonium, Travel Mute, developed with Steven Mead, Denis Wick is pleased to introduce a new compact, ultra-light in-bell mute for the euphonium. Weighing only 200 grams, this mute is perfect for the busy player who needs a mute that stores easily within the bell of the euphonium without protruding and fits easily in gig-bags and cases. It is free-blowing and resonant, but very soft indeed, making it perfect for both warming-up and for serious practice. The response is very even from pedal tones to the top of the range. It has excellent intonation in every register and is the most in-tune compact mute available.

DENIS WICK-Mute DW5518 for Tuba, straight The DW5518 is designed for 4/4 size tubas, but will work in larger instruments if the extra corks (supplied free with each mute) are used, and is made from high-quality aluminium spun by hand. It will play a really good fortissimo, making it ideal for use in large orchestras and bands. The latest version comes with a neoprene bumper strip at the top of the mute, to prevent any noise when putting the mute in the instrument, and it also has resting corks so that the mute does not roll around when laid on the floor. The base is indented, which gives extra stability to the sound, especially in the high register. The DW5518 is equipped with a leather handle, which makes it very easy to take in and out of the instrument with the minimum of fuss. This mute has a bright, hard-anodised finish and is an essential accessory for the serious tuba player.

Denis Wick Tone Collar for Trumpet DW4905 Der Denis Wick Tone Collar wird durch den Ventildeckel am 3. Ventil gehalten und kann so nicht verrutschen. Durch das zusätzliche Gewicht an dem Ventil wird die Schwingung des Materials beeinflusst und der Klang wird etwas kompakter und obertonreicher.

DENIS WICK-tone collar for cornet DW4906, gold-plated Wick Tone Collars are cleverly designed weighted collars that attach to the bottom of the third valve casing and is held in place by the bottom cap. By dampening vibrations at this crucial point, the instrument produces a more focused sound with purer overtones.

DENIS WICK-mouthpiece booster for trumpet, gold-plated A booster converts a Classic mouthpiece to a HeavyTop by adding extra mass which fits snugly around the existing mouthpiece. The boosters extra weight helps to transfer more energy through the horn and to the bell, resulting in a more powerful sound, more secure high register playing and more focused tone. Extra mass gives greater projection and also darkens the sound. The tone develops a deeper -core- and takes on a darker quality, giving a greater depth even at extreme volumes and ranges without the sound breaking up. This extra projection is very useful when playing in a very large venue or in a situation where maximum volume is required. Some of the -sparkle- in the sound will be lost, so it useful to be able to add the booster for, say, a concert in a stadium and remove it for a chamber music performance or an intimate jazz gig. The booster will add variety to a players sound and give options for different playing situations. Some players who put a lot of energy through the instrument will find the booster useful to stop the sound becoming too bright and overbearing, adding, instead, greater focus and projection.
