The JodyJazz DV NY Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece is designed for traditional jazz. It has a deep chamber which produces a fat, dark sound with plenty of low end. Saxophone players using a vintage mouthpiece will appreciate the similar tone of their vintage with the advantage of a modern feel. The DV NY is less stuffy and easier to play than many vintage mouthpieces. It also produces crisp articulation even when moving quickly from high to low notes.The DV NY was designed with three major differences from most mouthpieces. The first creates the most efficient mouthpiece possible, and to achieve this feat Golden Section Proportions, or Phi Proportions, are used between the facing, bore and chamber. These same proportions are found in Stradivarius Violins, the Nautilus shell, and Ancient Pyramids. The result is a sound with increased harmonics and projection using the same amount of air compared to other mouthpieces. The next feature is the use of a secondary window to push more sound through the horn. It works by bouncing sound waves off a vibrating reed instead of a solid piece of metal. This creates an effect similar to a swinging bat hitting baseball. The moving sound wave hits the vibrating reed and propels it through the saxophone. The third feature is a new facing curve. This new curve prevents dead spots on the reed which makes the saxophone respond evenly through the entire range.What Does The DV NY Do?Bigger Darker ToneEffortless PlayingMore HarmonicsCleaner ArticulationWarmth & BeautyExcellent AltissimoImproved IntonationHow Does The DV NY Do It?Deep Full ChamberGolden section proportioningProprietary CNC facing technologyPerfect radius facing curvePerfect reed/Tip matchSecondary WindowPlay tested by Jody Espina Minimize

The JodyJazz DV Series Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece combines knowledge from the past with proven innovations. The use of Golden Section Proportions, or Phi Proportions, between the facing, bore, and chamber are used to create an efficient mouthpiece with more harmonics and increased projection. These same proportions are found in the Stradivarius violins, Nautilus shell, and Egyptian Pyramids. Proven innovations like a secondary window and new facing curve have been adapted from the popular alto and tenor DV mouthpieces to the baritone. The secondary window allows sound waves to hit the vibrating reed and blast through the horn like a moving baseball being hit by a bat for a home run. The new facing design creates a reed with no dead spots resulting in an equal response throughout all registers. A big, broad tone with both an easy low range and amazing altissimo are also a benefit of the new facing. JodyJazz finds saxophonists that prefer a little brighter tone over traditional jazz mouthpieces like the DV most.Since the DV has a little more curve to the facing than usual, a slightly harder reed should be used. Harder reeds have an increased reed life and make playing in the altissimo easier.What Does The DV Do?Bigger Fatter ToneEffortless PlayingMore HarmonicsCleaner ArticulationPower and ProjectionUnbelievable AltissimoImproved IntonationHow Does The DV Do It?Secondary windowGolden section proportioningProprietary CNC facing technologyPerfect radius facing curvePerfect reed/Tip match24 kt heavy gold platingHand finished baffle, tip rail and tablePlay tested by Jody Espina Minimize

Unique FeaturesThe Jody Jazz ESP is a metal baritone saxophone mouthpiece with flawless workmanship. The workmanship is evident in the beautiful thin side and tip rails and hand cut baffles. This metal sax mouthpiece is machined from a solid bar of the finest virgin brass, meaning no seams! The ESP is beautifully plated with the finest 24kt, Hard Gold plating available. A very interesting feature is that the new Jody Jazz has a removable baffle with a 24kt Gold plated secondary reed which gives the mouthpiece more brilliance and projection.The ChamberThe chamber is big and fat, and the sound is unusually full. Compared to many of the high baffle metal sax mouthpieces, the Jody Jazz ESP will deliver a more round full sound with more bottom end without sacrificing high end or ease of playing.Mouthpieces for the future that take the best from the past"I wanted a mouthpiece that could produce a sound that would melt butter. A piece that lets the player shape the sound, instead of the sound being dictated by a high baffle or restrictive tone chamber. I wanted all of the bottom end in the world while still being able to sizzle on the high end. To be able to have the vocal qualities of Johnny Hartman's deep lush baritone and Dinah Washington's cutting clarity. Most of all, I wanted a mouthpiece that plays so effortlessly that you can completely forget about it. I think that the goal in all of your equipment purchases should be to find the mouthpiece/reed/ligature/horn combination that allows you to forget about all of it and just play. I believe that the Jody Jazz ESP is a metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece for the future that takes the best from the past. I hope that the Jody Jazz ESP brings new zest and life into your playing, the way it has done for mine."-Jody Espina Minimize
