Euphonium star David Childs was a welcome visitor to the Denis Wick stand at the Frankfurt Musikmesse in March.

This huge trade fair for the music industry attracts visitors from all over the globe to see the latest products from the world’s leading manufacturers.

Wick mouthpiece

David, who is now fully recovered from his operation earlier this year, plays a Denis Wick 4AL euphonium mouthpiece, but is in discussion with Denis Wick about production of a mouthpiece ‘tweaked’ to his own specifications.

It is a wonderful advertisement for us that we have artists of the stature of David playing our mouthpiecesDenis Wick

Wonderful advertisement

Denis Wick commented to 4BR: "It is a wonderful advertisement for us that we have artists of the stature of David playing our mouthpieces. We have an extremely high standard of manufacture which is accurate to microns, and the new technology enables us to adapt designs and create new mouthpieces for top artists such as David."
