Steven Mead Ultra Euphonium Mouthpiece Heros Silver Plated
Description
The Steven Mead Ultra series is the newest evolution in euphonium mouthpieces. The outer shape has been changed to add more mass which increases projection. An evolved cup shape combines the best elements of a funnel shape and bowl shape to produce a classic euphonium/baritone sound with better support and response in the upper registers.
Inspired by his top-selling Ultra X series, Steven Mead modified the rim contour and inner edge, designed a new curve in the bass of the cup, and modified the backbore for added projection to create a mouthpiece with improved airflow, tonal consistency, and effortless articulation.
Benefits:
1. A rich full centred sound across the whole range.
2. A greater ease of tone production across all ranges and dynamics
3. An extremely comfortable rim, again a fusion of the SM, Ultra and Ultra XR
4. Beautiful clarity of sound
5. A bigger sound in the high range
6. The easier 'pp' you can imagine!
7. Greater clarity with legato and lip flexibilities.
It has already been described by some of the leaders at the Denis Wick Company that this is possibly the best mouthpiece that the company has ever produced.
Finally, a word about the name HEROS. The word hero comes from the Greek ???? (heros), "hero" (literally protector, leader or defender).
