“I started using Jody Jazz within the first couple years of playing the saxophone. From the classic to the DV, I have grown loving these mouthpieces. They are comfortable to play and have allowed me to develop a sound that I can call my own. I’d recommend Jody Jazz to saxophonists of all ages who are looking to take their playing to the next level. “
“My JodyJazz mouthpieces give me the creative freedom to express my voice. They play so beautifully! It’s a rare thing when I make an equipment change, but when I tried Jody’s pieces, I fell in love instantly. They bring out all the natural nuances of my playing and for the first time ever, I don’t feel like I’m fighting my equipment. In fact, the ease of playing in the high and low register has become as effortless as the main range of my saxophone. The sound quality and workmanship of my Jody Jazz mouthpieces are incredible and allow my voice shine.”
“Sound is arguably one of the most critical elements of performance! The JodyJazz Giant allows me to express my inner voice, it has a certain complexity to it that inspires creativity. When you feel better about your sound, you play better! I can comfortably rest in the music, leave space and enjoy the resonance of my own voice without forcing things. Equipment and setup are an essential part of producing a good sound. The JodyJazz Giant gives me the freedom to shape my sound, it plays like a rubber mouthpiece, not edgy, but yet, and unlike most hard rubber pieces, it’s robust and powerful. I can play a ballad at a very soft dynamic level and also push it without limits.”
When I first saw the DV Tenor 7 mouthpiece I was intrigued by its striking appearance. The sound was OUTSTANDING! It provides controlled projection equally on both high and low registers. The altissimo register plays with ease which is usually a common issue among mouthpieces. I attempted to compare the JodyJazz to the mouthpiece I was using at the time (very well-known mouthpiece) and immediately realized there was no comparison. I would HIGHLY recommend the DV.
“The Love, Care and Attention to Detail that goes into every Jody Jazz Mouthpiece brings these creations and their technical considerations to the realm of Art. Works like these will be collectors items, and will surely, for posterity, be portals of and amplifiers aiding in the production of the World’s greatest, most moving sounds.”
“My JodyJazz DV NY Tenor 7* combines a full and elegant tone with powerful projection, which allows complete freedom of expression. It has an exceptionally free blowing response, on which I never have to strain to get the sound I want throughout the entire range of the instrument. A perfect match for my Selmer Balanced Action tenor.”
“After trying JodyJazz for fifteen seconds, I knew I had to buy JodyJazz mouthpieces for all of my horns. There are the fabulous JodyJazz mouthpieces, and then there are all the rest. None can compare to JodyJazz. JodyJazz mouthpieces are simply the greatest mouthpieces in the universe! I am proud to play JodyJazz, the mouthpieces played by the greatest saxophonists in the world.”
“This JodyJazz metal alto is beautifully made, plays in tune and gives me the bark and bite I need for louder playing situations. Records great too.”
“Just a quick note with a sort of testimonial…
along with andy narrell, i was a co-guest soloist with the steel band at miami university in oxford, ohio friday night.
“Because I play in many different styles I need a mouthpiece that has the flexibility to allow me to create the sound that I am hearing at any given moment. The GIANT Tenor 7* offers a great dynamic range and a broad tonal palette that lets me meet the musical demands of whatever musical situation I’m in.”
