“I’ve been using JodyJazz tenor mouthpieces since the early days, including the ESP and different versions of the DV’s. Each mouthpiece has its own unique playing character across the horn’s range. After experimenting, I’ve found that the original #7 DV is my go-to for situations where I want a room-filling sound without relying on a PA system, maintaining a smooth, dark tone. When I need to play more quietly with an even darker tone, I turn to Jody’s HR* Tenor with an 8* facing. It delivers a lush sound with depth and warmth while still allowing me to project without feeling stifled. Jody offers a variety of mouthpieces to cater to every player’s needs, and I always recommend them to fellow musicians, including professionals, teachers, and students.”
