FAQ – Wick 6AL & Heritage Series
Q: How does the 6AL compare to the 6BS?
A: Both share similar design concepts, but the 6AL is large shank and made for large-bore tenor trombones, while the 6BS is small shank and fits medium/small-bore models. The 6AL produces a bigger, warmer sound suited for symphonic and large ensemble use.
Q: What makes the Heritage series unique?
A: Denis Wick’s Heritage models have the same rim and cup dimensions as the Classic versions, but with weight redistributed lower in the cup. This produces a quicker response, a more colorful tone, and improved projection compared to traditional heavier designs.
Q: Is gold plating just cosmetic?
A: No. While it does look beautiful, gold plating is smoother and less reactive than silver, offering a slightly softer feel on the embouchure and extra comfort for long playing sessions.
