Logan Richardson Plays DV NY Alto Sax Mouthpiece

François D'Amours Plays DV NY Alto Sax Mouthpiece

A new mouthpiece with the traditional sound of yesterday.

If you tried the JodyJazz DV and loved the ease of play, but felt it was just too bright, the DV NY is the mouthpiece for you. Several changes were made to the original DV, the most notable being a deeper chamber. The JodyJazz DV NY Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece is free-blowing with a robust sound and a lot of bottom end. The primary goal was to create a mouthpiece for the jazz saxophonist looking for a similar sound to the great artists from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. The mouthpiece also received a warm welcome from saxophone players using vintage Link and Meyer pieces. The DV NY produces a similar sound without the stuffiness and resistance. This mouthpiece comes with cap, ligature and pouch.

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.
