The DV is a phenomenal mouthpiece but the thing that really sold me was the great support
"I'm a relatively novice player, even though I've been playing for 5 years. I saw Jody on the McGill School video and decided to upgrade my mouthpiece. After filling out the "6 Questions" and exchanging a series of emails and phone calls with Jody and his staff. I picked out two hard rubber mouthpieces. They played great but then I decided to try out the DV. I had long conversations with various members of Jody's staff. They were professional, knowledgeable, and extremely patient with me, answering every question. The DV is a phenomenal mouthpiece. Even with my mediocre playing, the sound is so much better and it is so much easier to play the DV than any other mouthpiece I've tried. And did I mention that it is a beautiful piece of art. The DV is great but the thing that really sold me was the great support I got from the JodyJazz team. I highly recommend them to any player, amateur or professional."
