The all new JodyJazz POWER RING Ligature improves upon the original JodyJazz Ring Ligature with an all new design that provides both a significant improvement in performance and greatly enhanced visual appeal. Taking the essence of his original ring ligature design, Jody Espina has added greater thickness and heft together with more pronounced side curves and extreme contoured edges both top and bottom. Jody developed the original ring ligature to provide an elegant solution to the problem with ligatures that dampen vibration of the reed. The New POWER RING features a concave inner design which reduces the touch points on the reed thereby maximizing reed vibration. There are no moving or added parts, thereby increasing the efficiency of vibration. The increased mass and greater wall thickness of the new POWER RING Ligature, together with its more contoured shape, provides a more solid contact with the reed at the points where they touch. This allows the most freedom and vibration of the reed which in turn also increases the amount of harmonics present, allowing the fullest saxophone sound containing high, mid and low frequencies.
“Besides loving the freer blowing aspect and heftier sound of the POWER RING, I love the pure simplicity of it. I just slide it over the reed and lock it in by pushing down firmly,” said Jody Espina, JodyJazz President and designer of the POWER RING Ligature.
The POWER RING Ligatures are individually CNC machined from virgin brass at the JodyJazz factory in Savannah, GA. Each POWER RING Ligatures come with cap.

Amazing intonation and a gorgeous, open and full bodied tone that projects evenly throughout the high, middle and lower registers. This mouthpiece is an example of what imagination and superior craftsmanship can accomplish!”
“I believe I finally found the mouthpiece that covers all my needs in terms of expression and sound quality. The free blowing nature of this mouthpiece is only matched by its warmth and virtuosistic possibilities. Make no mistake, JodyJazz really knows its craft and, for my taste, are producing the finest modern mouthpieces on the market.”
“Jody Espina has knocked it out of the park again with the new HR* CUSTOM DARK Tenor mouthpiece. After establishing a stellar classical saxophone mouthpiece division using his proprietary CHR Chedeville rubber, he has now used the rubber for a jazz tenor saxophone mouthpiece for the first time. When played softly, it reminds me strongly of the sound of Stan Getz. John Coltrane said “Let’s face it–we’d all sound like that if we could,” and who are we to argue with Trane? When you go for it in a big band or commercial setting, it will stand up to the […]

The best saxophone ligatures allow the reed the most freedom to vibrate. The more vibration there is from the reed, the more harmonics will be present in the saxophone sound, but increasing the efficiency of the reed’s vibration will also make the mouthpiece feel easier to blow and provide more power. This was the goal for the new POWER RING Ligature and it is exactly what it achieves.
