John Packer welcomes the Ultra

You can now get your lips on the brilliant Denis Wick Ultra cornet mouthpieces at John Packer Ltd.

Ultra mouthpieces
 

John Packer Ltd now has in stock the brilliant Denis Wick Ultra cornet mouthpieces… and they certainly live up to their name!

Brilliant sound

The Ultra has been designed to produce a cleaner, more brilliant sound than traditional cornet mouthpieces — producing a timbre well-suited to meet the needs of players who demand the flexibility to enable them to perform on a wide variety of repertoire.

It also makes them ideal for band players seeking a brighter tone quality.

Profile

The rims are ideal for modern trumpet players, featuring a profile which is slightly more rounded than traditional Vincent Bach-style mouthpieces. The Ultra rims are designed to give maximum flexibility and stamina and have received universal praise for their carefully designed contours.

Each rim exactly matches the trumpet mouthpiece of the same size.
