The innovation behind the Heritage series for cornet lies in the combination of increased mass at key points that reduce energy loss with thinner upper walls that provide power and sensitivity at all dynamic levels. The result is maximum sensitivity and response with clearer overtones and improved range.
Denis Wick has revolutionized the cornet playing world with his careful attention to sound and design. As a result of his work, Wick cornet mouthpieces create a rich, creamy tone unmatched by any other manufacturer.
Carefully worked out cups, throats and bores have given today’s superbly talented young players opportunities that were simply not available to earlier generations. The richness, sweetness and flexibility of modern cornet playing, so much a characteristic of the best brass bands are attributable to the careful research which Denis Wick has done in cornet mouthpiece design.
