The DW/Paxman range of mouthpieces has been developed with LSO principal horn Tim Jones, and uses the ideas underlying the Denis Wick Heritage range. This principle is based on a late 19th century design, where the cup wall is very thin near the mouthpiece rim, combined with the new idea to have substantially more mass lower down the cup.

The results are amazing. The mouthpieces have an immediate, easy response, particularly in the high register, a smooth legato and a sound rich in overtones over the whole range. The 9 has an easy high register and a strong and brilliant sound. This smaller style of mouthpiece is the choice of certain American horn players who tend to favour large horns played with smaller mouthpieces.

Cup Diameter: 16.55mm
Rim width: 4.50mm
