"One of the producers at a recording session recently told me I had "the best recorded soprano sound he's heard yet". I attribute much of this to the JodyJazz.

I've generally had trouble finding a soprano mouthpiece that I even like a little bit. When I got a hold of the JodyJazz mouthpiece for soprano, I was immediately comfortable and felt like my worries were finally over.

Here are a few of the great aspects of this mouthpiece:

1. In tune throughout the horn, and you know this is issue #1 with soprano.
   
   
2. Harder to "choke" on the left palm keys and altissimo. I can get a clear, in tune, warm sound on those high notes with the JodyJazz and while applying similar force on another mouthpiece would make it choke up.
   
   
3. Overall warm sound. Sometimes, a soprano can sound thin and whiney. This soprano sax mouthpiece allows you to render a robust, mellow sound, almost of a tenor quality if you so desire. One of the producers at a recording session recently told me I had "the best recorded soprano sound he's heard yet". I attribute much of this to the JodyJazz. It gives me the freedom to express myself and the latitude for huge dynamic and tonal range. This mouthpiece "obeys" the commands of your embouchure!
   
   
4. Last - and most certainly least, it looks really cool! The red on the brass horn is great. Obviously, serious players don't care about that, but it's a good looking mouthpiece nevertheless!

I recommend this mouthpiece, and be prepared for some new vistas to open up in your tone."
