Jason Marshall - on playing DV's on all his horns

"Jody, This mouthpiece is so complete. It’s perfect just the way it is. I love the thick heavy sound it gets. I can’t wait to play it in the Duke Ellington Orchestra tonight."

"The DV series of mouthpieces deliver immediate response and clarity of attack that I find a necessity while performing in the diverse situations for which I'm called. Jody has created a mouthpiece that helps me meet any artistic demand on any saxophone. No longer am I a zealous "gear head". I play the DV by JodyJazz and that, quite simply (and happily), is that!"

"The JodyJazz Ring ligature is simple, sturdy and sounds great. It’s the most efficient ligature on the market in every way"
