Featured Video: Derrick James Plays DV Alto Sax Mouthpiece

The JodyJazz DV is the state of the art in saxophone mouthpieces.

The JodyJazz DV Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece produces a bigger, fatter sound that is achieved effortlessly with better intonation and response. This mouthpiece was created to be the most efficient mouthpiece possible. That means that there are lots of harmonics and great projection, without the annoying shrillness that is associated with loud bright mouthpieces.

JodyJazz uses a new proprietary CNC facing technology that puts the perfect facing curve on the mouthpiece. This results in absolutely no dead spots in the vibration of the reed, with the notes in all ranges responding equally. It has a husky barrel-chested tone, while being able to sing and soar over the top of any band. Subtoning and low notes are extremely easy and the altissimo is out of this world. Be prepared to have possibly the most fun you ever have had on the saxophone.

DV NY vs DV (How are they different?)

Both mouthpieces have a full resonant sound due to the secondary window. The DV will have more projection and be brighter due to the raised floor of the chamber while the DV NY will have a more traditional Jazz sound and projection due to the deep full chamber. We often recommend trying both mouthpieces if you are not sure which model would suit you.
