Mark Hartsuch on JodyJazz mouthpieces

"I have been using JodyJazz mouthpieces for the past 3 years. Since then, I have been complimented more than ever about how centered my sound is, especially by engineers in the recording studio. Imagine a world where most every reed is playable. With JodyJazz, that has been my experience. JodyJazz is the new standard of mouthpiece making and I have yet to play on anything that I would even consider in the ballpark of these pieces.

Thank you Jody for your contributions to saxophone and making these pieces that have enabled me to find my sound. "
