A Special Custom Edition
Professional Power. Effortless Warmth. One Mouthpiece That Does It All.
The DV JC JODY CUSTOM Tenor is based on Jody Espina’s personal, long-refined DV mouthpiece, developed over years of real-world professional performance across jazz, funk, R&B, pop, and ballads. This is the most versatile, expressive, and player-friendly DV ever made. Originally introduced in 2005, the DV Series changed expectations for metal mouthpieces—delivering free-blowing response, strong projection, and a full, warm core rarely found in metal designs. The DV JC JODY CUSTOM Tenor takes that evolution even further.
Sound & Feel
• Big, fat, warm, and dark core
• Powerful when pushed—beautifully expressive at softer dynamics
• Feels less like a metal mouthpiece than previous DV models
• Sits perfectly between the DV and DV NY and feels more solid and focused than the DV CHI
Players love the standard DV, but they don’t want to put this one down.

Why is there a warning label on Metal Mouthpieces?
Almost all metal mouthpieces in the past and at the present time are made out of brass which can contain up to 3% lead. The lead in the brass is one of the components that give this particular brass it ’s hardness or rather it’s softness which makes it have a particularly pleasing sound to musicians. Proposition 65 from the state of California requires manufactures to label any products that have compounds in them that have been found to cause Cancer or Reproductive Harm. Lead is one of these Compounds. JodyJazz mouthpieces are electroplated with a layer of copper, then a layer of Nickel, Silver or Rhodium, and then a layer of Gold or Silver. This electroplating ensures that the raw brass is never in contact with the player.
Do you and your employees use brass mouthpieces?
This is Jody Espina and yes myself and my employees have been using JodyJazz Gold or Silver Plated brass mouthpieces for many years. My first JodyJazz brass mouthpiece was made in 2001 and I have continuously been playing JodyJazz brass mouthpieces since. I played my first metal mouthpiece in 1979 on tenor sax and have always used a brass mouthpiece on tenor sax ever since then.
Did the Jazz greats use these kind of brass mouthpieces?
Yes. Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Michael Brecker, Tom Scott Andy Snitzer are just a few of the 1000’s and 1000’s of players who have played brass mouthpieces.
