Denis Wick AT#Y / AT#UY

Post by Guest »

I've noticed some of the American shank mouthpieces are stamped AT#Y, and others are stamped AT#UY. Is there any difference?

The link you shared is explaining the difference between a European shank mouthpiece and an American shank mouthpiece. My curiosity was why some of the American shank mouthpieces are labeled as AT#Y, and others AT#UY (both American shank) and if there are any differences between them, or if it's just a stamping change that happened at some point.

I found my answer, though. Thank you.

The “U” is for ultra. I haven’t really followed these mouthpieces but maybe the AT#Y was an early model. That’s happened with other Wick mouthpieces where the ultra version came out after an original version.
