” 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, “
” 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!
