“The new DV NY really captures the sound of the early Otto Links and Dukoffs with less resistance and much more ease of blowing. What a great mouthpiece.
Thanks again,”
” Hi there, This truly is the best mouthpiece I have ever played, and is exactly the jazz sound I was looking for. I am amazed at how well it responds in the lower register, as I have had trouble with a good sound all through the sax. It looks brilliant, simply a great piece, and such quick delivery. I can praise you and the mouthpiece no end, so i will just say thank you so, so much for such a great sounding mouthpiece. I have a feeling I have found what I will be playing for life!
Thank you again, “
” Dear Jody,
Thank you very much indeed for recommending the DV NY7* for my Selmer tenor. I thought you’d like to know that it’s the most satisfying, responsive, warm and flexible mouthpiece I’ve ever played; I’ve been playing tenor for 50 years, and I’ve had Berg Larsen, OttoLink, Ponzol, Vandoren and Yanigasawa mouthpieces, but this beats them all hands down!
I’ve just done a gig with it, and it gave me every note just as I asked it, with consistent tone from the top to the bottom. It really is a mouthpiece for a lifetime.
(I use Marca Jazz 3 reeds).
With kind regards, “
” Jody –
I want to thank you… and commend you, on the creation of the DVNY mouthpiece. I have just recently purchased my DVNY 7 and already love the tone and control it provides. I had played a Berg Larsen metal 100/2/M for over 40 years on my Mark VI, and your DVNY is the first mouthpiece that has warranted me buying it. Guess that sums it up!

I’ve played on tons of tenor mouthpieces over the years and I was never happy with any of them (too bright, too dead, too hot, etc.) but I’ve really found my tenor voice through your mouthpiece. Thanks for taking so much pride in your products! Feel free to quote this email if you think it could help you.
” Dear Jody:
I just received the DV NY #6 Tenor mouthpiece I ordered and it gives me exactly what I’m looking for; a big sound with minimum effort. After all, at age 70, one doesn’t have a great deal of excess wind-power and energy. The response throughout the horn is great, but I’m amazed at the response in the lower range. I’ve never been able to “get” below a “D” without really attacking the note; not a good thing for ballads. With your DV NY, I’m able to get ’em all and play tunes I’ve resisted playing in the past.
Lastly, while the mouthpiece amplifies the brightness of my new Yanagisawa 992, it’s absolutely wonderful on my “old friend”, a 1953 “The Martin” tenor. As in life, sometimes old friends are best. “
” I picked up my mouthpiece at TMEA this year. In my practice, I found that I could play much better, with less effort, and a better sound immediately. I just finished a week at the VermonÜ Jazz festival where I got many compliments about my sound. Of course I had to really hold back to keep from playing louder than he section… In a session with Jerry Bergonzi, he complimented me on my tone. I’m totally satisfied with this mouthpiece. “
” Hello Jody,
I wanted to take a moment to say thanks for this great mouthpiece. All I feel is FINALLY. I enjoy playing all of the mouthpieces you have made for me, but this one is extra special. So many metal pieces were too bright when pushed and others lack body, harmonics or have turbulance issues. This baby plays easy and I can use harder reeds which is really a bonus for me personally. It is really inspiring me to practice and go for the sound again. Thank you and I wish you all continued success.
Sincerely, “
” Hello!
A great compliment to the DV NY 8*! I have played on many different mp,s during the last years, but this one is what I wanted! Bought it a month ago in London. Very easy to play, and a really large sound. Got nice comments from my collegues in Bergen – Norway. I hope you like to receive this message from me.
best wishes “
” Thank you so much for allowing me to try these mouthpieces. I am going to keep the DVNY. I will send the others back this afternoon. Thank you again for your awesome service. I have told several saxophonists about the quality of your products and the level of service. Hopefully they’ll try too. Have a great day, “
