“I played the baritone saxophone using my old mouthpiece for so much time and just found it acceptable. However, I never realized how much was missing until I had the JodyJazz DV NY in my hands and then everything changed for me. I never thought a mouthpiece could be so comfortable and the sound so spectacular. It was a full resonant sound, round and dark tone, everything that Jody says is true. It is like playing an alto saxophone but in a baritone saxophone! All my reeds sound great also. Since then I continue to enjoy this great mouthpiece and I recommend it 100 percent. Now, I can say it is perfect instead of acceptable!”

“I absolutely love playing on my Jody Jazz HR #8! This piece has chiaroscuro (in singing, the blending of bright and dark), so I don’t have to trade one quality for the other. It whispers, it screams, it cuts, it articulates. I find the HR to be very expressive and right there with me in every musical situation.”
“I am now playing the JodyJazz DV 9 Baritone mouthpiece exclusively on tenor. It has all the projection I need plus fullness of sound. I played my previous mouthpiece for 30 years! Thank you JodyJazz.”
“My JodyJazz DV6 has been a revelation. Great response, great pitch, great sound. It records like a dream. It makes playing the baritone even more fun and gets those creative juices flowing. Looking forward to playing it on this Summer’s Steely Dan Tour:’ The Dan Who knew Too Much.’ Hope to see you on the road.”
“When I was looking for a new mouthpiece to play on, several Jazz players I know recommended JodyJazz mouthpieces. I was looking for a piece that would allow me to push as hard as I wanted and to pull back as much as I needed. I also perform in a variety of Jazz styles and I needed a mouthpiece that could handle all of that. JodyJazz mouthpieces exceeded all my expectations.”
I play the JodyJazz HR* 8 baritone mouthpiece. From the very first moment I played this mouthpiece I was deeply impressed with the flexible sound. The range really reaches from very powerful to very smooth in all registers. It’s easy to play in all styles and I use it for both big band and small groups. It is a reliable partner to express my music.
“A world-class big band is impossible without a sax section that truly blends. JodyJazz mouthpieces give the Crescent Super Band the consistency, precision, and tone necessary across all our saxes for that to happen. “
“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.”
JodyJazz mouthpieces are amazing! The mastery is at the highest level. They allow to make my creative own sound. The JodyJazz mouthpiece brings out all the natural nuances. It sings in all registers, perfect intonation, fat and bright sounding as a saxophone should be.
“JodyJazz mouthpieces have both power and delicacy all saxophonists long for.”
