Danny Helseth Signature Euphonium Mouthpieces – Versatile Brilliance & Heartfelt Excellence

 Danny Helseth a true gentleman of the euphonium world whose warmth, musicianship, and generosity shine through in every note and every interaction. As a renowned soloist, educator, clinician, and former member of the United States Air Force Band "Airmen of Note," Danny brings unmatched artistry and integrity to everything he does. It was an absolute privilege to work with him on these signature mouthpieces, which capture his signature sound: clear, singing, and deeply musical.

DHWA-S – The Solo Model

Versatile & Singing | Similar in size to SM4U | Medium Cup Depth

The DHWA-S is Danny's go-to for solo work — a beautifully balanced mouthpiece that projects a solid core of sound from the lowest pedal notes to the highest lyrical highs. With a medium cup and refined geometry, it delivers a clear, singing tone that blooms with resonance and emotional depth, making every phrase feel effortless and expressive. This model excels when you need to stand out: solo recitals, concerto performances, recordings, or featured moments in ensembles. It offers excellent projection, precise control, and the flexibility to shape dynamics and color with nuance — exactly what Danny relies on for his captivating solo artistry.

 

DHWA-E – The Ensemble Model Deeper & More Expansive

Deeper Cup, Larger Throat & Backbore

The DHWA-E is built for the demands of ensemble playing — with a deeper cup, larger throat, and more open backbore than the solo model, it produces a resonant, expansive sound that fills the room with full, powerful tone and rich harmonics. It provides the weight, warmth, and projection needed to anchor brass sections, blend beautifully in wind ensembles, orchestras, or brass bands, and support the entire group without ever overpowering. Danny uses this mouthpiece primarily for ensemble work — where the goal is to contribute depth, stability, and musical glue while maintaining clarity and control. It's the perfect balance of power and refinement for the collaborative musician.

Shared Excellence – Built for the Player

  • Premium stainless steel — Hypoallergenic, mirror-smooth, durable for a lifetime, and superior energy transfer for effortless response
  • Versatile family — Two complementary models that cover solo brilliance and ensemble foundation — choose based on your primary focus, or own both for total flexibility
  • Danny's touch — Every detail reflects his thoughtful approach: singing tone, solid core, and the kind of playability that makes music-making feel natural and joyful

Danny Helseth's mouthpieces are more than equipment — they are extensions of his heart and artistry. Whether you're chasing solo magic or ensemble harmony, these pieces help you play with the same sincerity, clarity, and warmth that define Danny himself. Thank you, Danny, for your friendship, inspiration, and trust. It's an honor to bring your sound to life. Play with heart, project with power, and let your euphonium sing.
