Re: Denis Wick 1931-2025
RIP. His mouthpieces fundamentally changed brass banding in the UK. I played a Wick 1 when I had my Besson New Standard BBb 3-valve comp tuba. I have a 4BW and 4W for the rare occasion I play my Globe Stamp Sovereign 921 cornet in a brass band. I have an Ultra 6 in the mid-sized shank for my B&H 3-valve comp euph. Of course, I have other mouthpieces for other horns for playing in USA ensembles and repertoire, but his world-wide fundamental positive influence on playing brass instruments must be recognized.
