” Hello Mr. Espina! I’ve been playing on the DV NY for a few weeks now…and I must say it is BEAUTIFUL!!! I can’t thank you enough! I will definitely spread the word to my fellow sax-playing friends about this mouthpiece! “
” The DV NY Alto # 5 that I recently bought is worth every dollar I paid for it. The warmth and beauty of sound is incredible. It’s a dream to play my alto sax (Yamaha YAS 62-II) with a metal mouthpiece of such excellent quality and beautiful execution.
Congratulations on such an excellent product and you will always have me as a loyal customer of JodyJazz Mouthpieces. “
“I’m the band director who left his Drivers license with you guys at FMEA this year. Just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that I’m now playing a DV NY 5 as my main alto piece. I absolutely love the control and sound I have with this piece. I’ve been searching for an alto piece for several years ever since my prized Jon Van Wie recfaced Meyer met an untimely end on a stage floor. The DV NY gives me the sound and response I had with that piece with the added bonus that it is replaceable should the worst happen again.
My 3 horns are now JodyJazz setups with DV NY’s on alto and bari and an ESP on tenor (although I’m saving nickles and dimes to try the DV CHI and NY for tenor someday as well. My stable also includes a JJ coffee mug.
Keep up the great work and I hope to see you in Tampa again in January!

” Hi Jody, Thanks for the masterclass in Cologne! You joked about having a midlife crisis and the wish to drive a Ferrari. I still don`t know the feeling of driving a Ferrari, but now – after playing the JodyJazz DV NY Alto 5- I can imagine…
The Mouthpiece plays perfectly, it allows me to play faster and with more precision. But the most important thing of all: I got MY sound that I heard in my head, that I have looked for so long! I can play smoothy, jazzy and funky in the way I love it. Thanks for this!!! Your work is perfect!
At the first seesion with my band I played a solo over Take 5 and the guitarman told me: “Wow, your sound gives me goose bumps :-)))
Thanks and best regards from Germany, “
Hi Jody,
I work part time in a saxophone store, so get to play A LOT of different brands of mouthpieces. I’ve tried everything out there and they’ve all been a disappointment. Your pieces were recommended to me by a friend and I’ve been wanting to try one ever since. In all honesty, I was expecting to play this Jody Jazz for a few minutes and end up having to ‘put it in the drawer’. How wrong could I have been!! Wow… this is the best playing mouthpiece I have ever tried. It sounds beautiful, dark, traditional but with some edge when you push it. It’s exactly what I was looking for in a mouthpiece and more! Sincere thanks for your advice and time spent dealing with my order. I will be telling all my friends and colleagues about your work, as well as all of the customers at the saxophone store. I am truly stunned by this great mouthpiece and am very grateful to you. I will take it on the gig tonight… and many more to come, I’m sure.
Thanks you!
Hi Jody,
This is Matt Renzi. Just wanted to drop you a line about the Hard Rubber ‘8’ piece you laid on me last May when I came down to the factory with George Garzone. It’s fantastic and I’ve been using it the whole time since then (recorded 6 CDs with it so far!) The latest one that’s gonna come out is my CD “Lunch Special”
I put a track up off that CD for you to check out on my site: www.mattrenzi.com … It’s called ‘Circolazione.’ Thanks, and I’ll talk to you soon.
Jody:
What can I say? I LOVE this mouthpiece. It’s got guts, it’s got growl, it’s got altissimo…and it’s got perfect intonation. I have never been happy with my Mk VI tenor because of intonation problems, but, baby, they’re gone. I love this piece!
Hey Jody! Just a quick note, apparently Ritchie Perez contacted you and you sent two pieces to him an 8* and a 7*. Well, got the chance to play ’em, the 7* played so good I had to keep it, nice job man! I’ve got a couple of killer hand faced hr pieces(Link, Brihart Ebolin from the 50s) and I gotta say your piece plays as good as those. Can you tell me if these are stock pieces or did ya hand pick these?They play great, would highly recommend to students and anyone looking for a good hr piece. Anyway, I’m definitely set for a hr piece, thanks man, be cool! By the way, the 8* was a touch big and lost the sizzle of the 7* but a nice piece as well.
When I first tried out the new Jody Jazz HR 7*, I noticed an immediate change in my sound. Bigger, and with a little more edge especially in the high register. Wow! That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. After trying out all kinds of mouthpieces I finally found the one. Thanks Jody!
