Yurie Yamazaki on JodyJazz mouthpieces

"JodyJazz mouthpieces have a very natural sound. They are also warm, powerful and bright. I have never played any other mouthpieces like JodyJazz. With JodyJazz mouthpieces, I'm going to be able to evolve and further express myself as a player!"

"JodyJazzのマウスピースは、自分から発生している音としてとても自然であり、温かさの中にもパワフルさと華やかさをも兼ねそろえた今まで出逢ったことがないマウスピースです。
このマウスピースでなら、さらなる表現の進化をしていけると考えています!!"
