Shires USA 1 1/2 md but Denis wick

Post by americanbozo »

I currently use a Shires USA 1 1/2 md bass trombone mouthpiece which ive been using for around a 6 months. I coulnt find any sizes for this mouthpiece since im looking for something similar but from denis wick. If anyone knows the sizes for the mouthpiece or knows which denis wick is the most similar please let me know

I'd say the 1AL is going to be closest, though maybe a bit smaller. Not sure how the rim shape compares though. The 0AL is...a bit weird, according to those familiar with it, and the 00AL is much bigger.

Don't go off the specs; I own a 1AL and a couple Schilke 58's, and they're pretty close in size.

The Shires site has specs now: https://www.seshires.com/mouthpieces/measurements

I hope this helps.

I'm confused. Their specs are listed pretty openly on their website: https://www.seshires.com/mouthpieces/measurements
