Dear Jody:
I just received the DV NY #6 Tenor mouthpiece I ordered and it gives me exactly what I'm looking for; a big sound with minimum effort. After all, at age 70, one doesn't have a great deal of excess wind-power and energy. The response throughout the horn is great, but I'm amazed at the response in the lower range. I've never been able to "get" below a "D" without really attacking the note; not a good thing for ballads. With your DV NY, I'm able to get 'em all and play tunes I've resisted playing in the past.
Lastly, while the mouthpiece amplifies the brightness of my new Yanagisawa 992, it's absolutely wonderful on my "old friend", a 1953 "The Martin" tenor. As in life, sometimes old friends are best.

I picked up my mouthpiece at TMEA this year.
In my practice, I found that I could play much better,
with less effort, and a better sound immediately.
I just finished a week at the VermonÜ Jazz festival
where I got many compliments about my sound. Of
course I had to really hold back to keep from playing
louder than he section...
In a session with Jerry Bergonzi, he complimented me
on my tone.
I'm totally satisfied with this mouthpiece.

Thank you so much for allowing me to try these mouthpieces. I am going to keep the DVNY. I will send the others back this afternoon. Thank you again for your awesome service. I have told several saxophonists about the quality of your products and the level of service. Hopefully they'll try too. Have a great day,

Jody,
you are something else! This new DV NY is out of this world.
The original DV was great but not enough resistance and it was too bright for me; the NY is everything I have been looking for in a mouthpiece for years.
I play it on my Mark VI 98xxx, and I also play it on my Cannonball stone series and the sound is awesome,regardless what horn I play.
I just want to tell you how much I appreciate the love and care you have for us musicians for always trying to make the best sound possible and
help preserve this beautiful art form called JAZZ.
Thanks Jody
Regards
