I have an Amati AFH 601S flugelhorn which sounded decent with the stock Amati 1&1/2 mouthpiece. I purchased a 2BFL and I was absolutely blown away with the beautiful dark tone after playing just 1 note. I'm a guy that's hard to please and even harder to impress. I honestly could not believe my ears. The tone was sweet and rich. This mouthpiece made my horn sound like a completely different instrument. I kept switching mouthpieces to see if I was just imagining it. I tried 5 other mouthpieces and when I switched back to the Denis Wick I was amazed at the difference. Best investment I've ever made for sound quality. Range from low pedal G all the way up to double high G have great tone, slotting, and intonation. Literally like night and day compared to any other mouthpiece I've ever tried. I also like the comfort the gold plating adds.

I have been a Wick fan ever since I purchased the 4FL about 1 year ago....a truly distinct sound. I was having a bit of trouble with the upper register with the 4FL so I bought the 2BFL as it is stated to be a bit less deep than the 4FL. To my great surprise the 2BFL is to the eye and feel the same depth as the 4FL, the cup is a bit narrower but still gives that great Wick tone. This piece is a pleasure to play and has extended my range to where I want it, nice tone up to about high C, without any loss of that deep, dark flugelhorn sound. I am very pleased with this purchase and I have used this mouthpiece exclusively since I purchased it. In addition the price on this site is the absolute best price out there. A great product at an amazing price.

I'm just a casual player...not professional or expert by any means. I bought a Jupiter flugel just to add to my band gigs. The stock Jupiter mpc , I thought, was fine. But I kept hearing a better mpc will really enhance the horn. I decided to try a Wick gold 4FL. WOW !! The first note I blew with it sounded so much warmer..really brought out that dark flugel sound I love. I kept switching mpc's back/forth to see if I was just imagining it...I couldn't belive the difference in sound. The 4FL gold is a great mpc for flugelhorn. I'm thrilled with it.
