“Wow! Jody is truly a master, your mouthpieces are all great, they play easy, with power, evenness, and beauty.”

Carlo Muscat
“My HR* CUSTOM DARK tenor mouthpiece can really sing! I have always steered towards a dark tone and finding a mouthpiece that was designed to enhance this aspect of my playing has really given me the chance to take my sound to the next level. I also use a DV NY on my baritone; this mouthpiece is something special and has changed my entire perception of metal mouthpieces, which I have always tried to move away from. The interplay between the darkness and the response is something I haven’t experienced before.”

“I got a chance to play the new Dark piece… smokin’! I loved the focus, warmth and evenness throughout the range of the horn.”
Lew Del Gatto on the HR* CUSTOM DARK Tenor
“I tried the Jody Jazz HR Custom Dark 8* tenor piece that Arnie Krakowsky got from you and I thought it was great! I loved the dark sound and how free blowing it was, I also dug the POWER RING ligature that was with it! It reminded me of an old Link that I bought 60 years ago. I was a teenager, and an older cat that I respected, said to me, “we don’t play a mouthpiece that is so open in the sax section”. (I don’t remember the facing but it was a very free- blowing piece!) I was young, so I returned the piece and have regretted it ever since! When I played your piece that memory came back to me.”

“This HR* CUSTOM DARK is knocking me out….!!!!! Love it. Lew Del Gatto fell in love with it also. This model will be a huge success for you.”

Sylvain Beuf
“I was really impressed with the new HR* Custom Dark Tenor 8*. Its sound is really smooth and it is possible to change intonation according to the energy of my playing. It is an extremely fair and homogeneous mouthpiece. It goes where I want to go, that’s the most important thing to me! For a young musician this may be the time to take a sound color term to the next level. I recommend it to all my students because it brings more confidence. On soprano, the HR 7* model allowed me to find smooth listening and playing sensations – in the studio, these accuracies make the big difference.”
