Denis Wick SM6 euphonium mouthpiece silver plated

A Steven Mead mouthpiece for a broad and controlled euphonium sound

The Denis Wick SM6 Silver-Plated Euphonium Mouthpiece is part of the renowned range developed with euphonium soloist Steven Mead. It is designed for players seeking a balanced response, a broad tone and reliable control throughout the euphonium’s register.

Denis Wick euphonium mouthpieces are based on successful principles used in the company’s trombone mouthpieces, with specific refinements to the throat and backbore to complement the euphonium’s conical bore. This creates natural airflow and a response suited to the particular tonal character of the instrument.

The SM6 has a 25.40 mm cup diameter, providing a practical balance between stability and flexibility. Its 6.20 mm rim offers comfortable support for the embouchure during extended rehearsals and performances without unnecessarily restricting precision.

The 7.10 mm throat supports generous airflow, helping the player produce a full sound with strong presence. This configuration is particularly suitable for musicians who prefer a free-blowing feel and need to maintain a stable air column across both soft and powerful dynamics.

This model has a large shank and must therefore be used with a compatible euphonium receiver. Its silver-plated finish provides a comfortable surface on the lips together with a traditional and professional appearance.
