"The day I first played JodyJazz DV Saxophone Mouthpieces I became instantly converted. No other sax mouthpieces can match them!"

-Tom Scott-

"Jody,I've been playing the mouthpiece a lot and using it on the current tour through Europe with Arturo Sandoval. "The mouthpiece is amazing. The DV Tenor sax mouthpiece plays beautifully from top to bottom, loud and soft. I am really having fun playing again. AMAZING piece. Arturo loves it and audiences seem to really dig the sound. All the best,"

-Ed Calle-

"After playing the Jody Jazz Tenor DV mouthpiece for a few seconds the first thought that came into my head was, "Oh, so there's my sound!" This piece makes playing fun again."

-Jeff Kashiwa-

"The DV is amazing. If you play modern styles, you MUST try this mouthpiece."

-Andy Snitzer-

"My JodyJazz DV tenor mouthpiece has a strong, fast response, with a modern sound, yet I can still get a warm subtone quality whenever I want. Easy to blow with a very focused tone, the DV, also has a third dimension to the sound that I've never encountered in any mouthpiece before. I couldn't be more happy. Way to go Jody! "

-Ada Rovatti-

"The Jody Jazz Tenor DV is one of the most impressive saxophone mouthpieces I've ever played. The DV has amazing capabilities in terms of projection and dynamic range, yet it is highly sensitive. I find it extremely easy to articulate and express myself throughout the entire range of the horn. The DV mouthpiece is a highly significant innovation in the saxophone world, plus it's really fun to play. "

-Laura Dreyer-

"Jody, Gotta tell you I love this DV tenor mouthpiece. It's a definite keeper. What a full sound! Adds a lot of color and definition to my tone. I was really surprised upon seeing the high baffle and extended window how nice of a sound it got, without being shrill or exhibiting harsh overtones. I am impressed with how it can be used for about any style. It can be used for nice lush subtones, and then can be pushed to honk if needed with no tone quality being sacrificed. "

-Ryan Burrage, New Orleans

Testimonials From JodyJazz Customers

"Jody

Just purchased a Tenor DV and an HR mpc for my late model Mark VI from wwbw. I want to share my experience with you.

I use the HR when playing along with my sax students but the DV is for me.

Like most sax players the perfect mpc is the holy grail............I know you've heard this many times. I was reluctant to switch from my Sugal which I've played for years but was frustrated with a weak low end and inconsistent altisimo. So I gambled and tried your 7* DV which is not as open as my Sugal at 118. But I wanted a fatter and more reliable low end. The DV came through. It took a little experimenting with reeds. My broken in reeds didn't play very well and I realized that a stiffer reed was required. I'm using Alexander and Rico Jazz #3. They do the job. I do a smooth/contemporary jazz gig and the projection is great and amazingly the speed of my playing has greatly improved. The notes seem to pop out almost before I hit them. The stuffiness of middle D is gone. I thought it was a leak in the horn or just the nature of my "VI". But I now have a solid middle D !! I'm also discovering improved intonation on palm keys and higher. Truly a great mpc. For the HR I found a good set up using Alexander NY reeds. It's a sweet mpc, very versatile, but I need to spend more time with it.

-Chris Anderson

" Jody, Iíve been playing on my DV 8* Tenor sax mouthpiece now for a few months and I can't tell you how great it is. I've been recording and it has such a fat sound. Much, much, much better than anything I've tried before. Thanks so much for developing such a fantastic product. Be blessed. "

-GARY HONOR, Australia

"It is easily the best sax mouthpiece I've ever played and I really enjoyed being able to take a reed right out of the box, and have the ability to play very loud or very softly without any trouble at all. From low to high, everything comes out clean and crisp. I'd like to say that after playing the DV, it is easy to see that the quality just towers over all other current sax mouthpieces, and more than a few of the vintage one's I've played."

-Neil Broughton, New York

"Dear Jody,
OMG...I received my mouthpiece last Thursday and, after taking about 10 minutes to get use to it and 5 hours of playing after that, my wife had to come down to the basement both Thursday and Friday nights to tell me to stop playing because it was after 12 midnight. I had a gig Saturday night and both the guitarist and bass player were OMG!!! I happen to have a box of Lavoz med hard reeds I bought a few years ago and, of course you were right, they work perfect with the DV 7*. I am very happy to give up the medium reeds! So thank you for making such a great mouthpiece and I look forward to many years of enjoyment blasting out an awesome sound from my horn! I absolutely love it!!! :)

With Kind Regards,

Steve Binko "

"Dear Sir,

I recently bought a JJ DV 8* tenor mouthpiece and it is by far the best mouthpiece I ever played on!(I am 56 and play for about 35 years).What a delight to play. All the things you say about it on your website are true as far as I'm concerned. It is totally free blowing and has an infinite sound and enormous power and projection. Through the whole register there is a rich mixture of fatness and brightness while every single tone keeps its own unique color en 'feel'. When I play something is happening to me, I am in a flow, even my fingers move with great ease, effortless. This sound is me! I'm not a pro and since a bought this mouthpiece I feel frustrated that I can't play all day..... I am grateful to you Mr. Espina and I want to thank you for your dedication, expertise and mastership in developing this mouthpiece (and the others I am sure). I am curious about the other tenormouthpieces, when I am in the shop again I will definitely try them.
With kindest regards, Oswald knaap"

-George Keiht Lee, Bermuda

"I would like to thank you and your staff in helping my son pick out a new mouth piece he decided to go with the HR so I will be shipping out the Classic tomorrow June 20th so you should have it by the end of the week. Both my wife and I were amazed how much smoother the sound was when he played with the HR and my son said it's a lot easer to play his sax with it on. It was a pleasure doing business with everyone there. Have a great day. "
