Marcos Contreras on the new HR* CUSTOM DARK Baritone, Alto and Soprano, HR* Tenor and DV NY Baritone.

"The comfort and freedom of JodyJazz is incredible, a solid construction and first level, in addition to a beautiful finish. The information provided and the variety of designs meet all the requirements of today's saxophonist."

"I love my HR* CUSTOM DARK Baritone 7! It really meets my needs and is the best jazz mouthpiece in the world!! I have been playing with it regularly and feel very happy to have this mouthpiece. It's the best sound I can have if I am looking for quality and warmth. My DV has the power but this one has subtlety. I'm never tired of saying that JodyJazz has met my expectations.
Thank you friends!"

"I adore the new HR* CUSTOM DARK models in Soprano and Alto sax, since they are dark but with the projection required in a popular space, they allow me to play with the tone that I have always wanted, without losing control of the sound. I can be playing classical music one day, and the next day grab my HR* CUSTOM DARK mouthpieces and feel like I'm still myself, effortlessly."

"For Tenor sax the HR* Tenor model is perfect for me, here I require a bit more aggressiveness, without this getting out of control. The HR* model is solid, to play a ballad to something funk, or Latin."

"On my baritone saxophone I love my DV NY Baritone as the weight on its sound is relentless! I feel like my whole head vibrates when I demand the maximum from it! And I enjoy long notes in delicate places and piano."

"Jody has allowed me to find my peace of mind when it comes to mouthpieces!"
