Quick Guide to Vincent Bach and Denis

Wick Mouthpieces
The physical shape of the brass mouthpiece has always been of
great interest; manufacturers and players claim that the various
parts —rim, cup, throat, backbore and shank - affect tone and
playability.
However, factors such as the shape and size of players’ mouths,

their embouchure, and perception of sound should also be taken
into account.
According to Vincent Bach, the “selection of a satisfactory

mouthpiece presents to the average player an immeasurably
greater problem than the choice of an instrument”.
The mouthpieces of brass instruments have a “rounded” section

that fits against the lips (the rim), an “enclosed volume of
air” (cup diameter and depth), a narrow constriction (throat and
shank), and a taper that widens out to meet the bore of the body
of the instrument (the back bore). The enclosed volume may be
approximately conical, as in many horn mouthpieces, or cup
shaped, as in most other brass instruments (see below).

Constriction
Taper
It is useful to know, especially when ordering, what the letters
and numbers ascribed to each mouthpiece mean, how they af-
fect play and to whom they are suited. Although this again is a
minefield, as neither manufacturers of players seem to agree on
what constitutes a good beginner’s mouthpiece, or what is best
generally for any player. They do seem to agree on what the
separate parts of a mouthpiece achieve.

RIM:
Generally, a wide rim increases endurance, a narrow one im-
proves flexibility and range, and a round one improves com-
fort. While a sharp rim, advocated by most sellers and play-
ers, increases “brilliance and precision of attack”, a thick rim
creates more lip contact and may make high notes easier to
reach, and increase endurance. A sharp “bite” may make
playing pitch more accurate, but lip control may be limited as
may comfort and endurance. A soft bite will make up for
this, but may lessen the “clarity of attack”.
In both Denis Wick and Vincent Bach mouthpieces a “W” in the
name implies a wider cushion rim on the cup. “X” usually signi-
fies a large “cushion” rim.
For Denis Wick, “N” (trombone and French horn) means a nar-
rower rim.
Wide Rim Narrow Round Rim Sharp Rim

Rim
Throat:
A large throat is thought to increase blowing “freedom”, vol-

ume and tone. It may also sharpen the higher register, and
lower register. A smaller size may increase resistance, endur-
ance and brilliance, but flatten the higher register.
All standard Bach mouthpieces are made with medium-sized
throats— No 27 (3.66 mm). Special throat sizes are available.
The lower the number assigned, the larger the throat.
Cup:
A larger cup diameter may increase volume and con-
trol, while a smaller one may help to relieve fatigue
and weakness. A deep cup may darken tone, while a
shallow one may help to brighten it. A large cup will
also lower the pitch – thus the importance of match-
ing the cup of the mouthpiece with the pitch of the
instrument.
VBI trumpet, cornet and flugel horn mouthpieces are
numbered from the largest to the smallest diameters, and
from the deepest to the most shallow cup. Numbers pro-
gress from 1 (largest cup diameter) to 20 (smallest).
Cup depths are notated with letters: “A” is the deepest,
standard cups have no letter, and “F” is the shallowest.
“V” models, as the letter suggests, have “V” style cups -
for these, cup depth is notated with “S” shallow or “M”
medium. So 5MV is medium deep V style cup.
Large Small Deep Cup Small Cup

Diameter Diameter
Backbore:
Backbores vary in size and taper, and can help adjust tone and
pitch depending on how these combine, and what sort of cup and
throat the mouthpiece possesses. If the backbore of a mouthpiece
is too small, the higher registers may be flat; if too large, the
mouthpiece will make the player suffer and “exhaust” their em-
bouchure. Size alone is not a very accurate way of gauging back-
bore, as taper and shape also change.
For Denis Wick trombone, “L” is large bore and “S” is medium
bore. For tuba, “L” is large fitting (S is shallow cup). Generally,
the first letter suffix applies to cup depth, and the second (if there
are two) to bore/fitting. So tuba 2SL is shallow cup/large fitting,
and trombone 4BL is medium cup large bore/fitting.
VBI mouthpiece backbores are assigned numbers, although these
apply to factory parts, not to the size and shape of the backbore.
Trumpet and cornet “C” mouthpieces have a No10 back bore as
do mouthpieces with no letter. This can probably be considered
medium, however, VBI claim that backbores cannot be considered
in terms of “large or small” because of the variation in size and
taper. They attribute different qualities to each style of backbore.
They have not been listed here.
Different Back Bores

Other letters you may not recognise in combi-
nation are “RW”, Roger Webster’s cornet
mouthpieces, and “SM” Steven Mead’s Eu-
phonium mouthpieces. Confusion may be al-
layed by the fact that these initials go before
the number.
