SM3U ULTRA Steven Mead Model Euphonium Mouthpiece from Denis Wick

Range of mouthpieces designed by euphonium virtuoso Steven Mead.

The new ‘Ultra' range was launched to great acclaim at Music China - Shanghai 2009, and at the National Brass Band Championships at the Royal Albert Hall 2009.

Steven Mead designed his original SM series for Denis Wick back in 1995, but recent changes in instrument design and Steven's desire for perfection, have been the spur to create this new design. After many prototypes, the Ultra SM3U was finally given Steven's consent, and has been met with universal approval on the industry launch date.

The new mouthpiece has a different, heavier outer shape, a slightly more rounded cup and a slightly sharper inner edge to the rim. The sound is powerful, with a beautiful singing high register.

Diameter: 40.00 mm
Cup Diameter: 26.40 mm
Rim Width: 6.80 mm
Bore Size: 7.38 mm
Back Bore: Barrel
Tone, comfort and all-round performance promise to delight all players
Supplied in Silver plate

Steven Mead said "From an initial concept drawing we started to get closer to the desired goal. Each prototype was subjected to rigorous testing in different acoustics, using ‘blind' judges listening to the new mouthpiece in relation to others. Each time following the tests we were able to make it a little better, then again a little better. Finally, we arrived at the finished version and I'm delighted with it!'

Skip Gray , President ITEA, Professor of Music, Performance Studio of Tuba and Euphonium School of Music, University of Kentucky "I really love the SM3 and am using it. Several of my students have also glomed-on to them with great success. With each student who has tried one of the mouthpieces at this point, I (and they) notice immediate improvement in sound, ease in the lower register, and cleaner articulation. You should be selling the things for a million dollars each!"
