"Jody's DVNY mouthpiece is extremely balanced,warm, and easy to play. I can create so many colors in my sound now and it allows me speak with a warm beautiful lyrical quality that I've been searching for. I find that the Rico Jazz Select Reeds works great with my DVNY. Jody makes a killin' mouthpiece!! Check it out!! "
