From the Jody Jazz website:The JodyJazz DV is the state of the art in saxophone mouthpieces. We have a patent pending on two different features in the mouthpiece. My main goal with this mouthpiece was to create the most efficient mouthpiece possible. That means that there are a huge amount of harmonics present in the sound and therefore the projection of the mouthpiece is huge. Another goal was to eliminate the annoying shrillness that is associated with loud bright mouthpieces. It has a husky barrel-chested tone while being able to sing and soar over the top of any band. Sub toning and low notes are extremely easy and the altissimo is out of this world. Intonation is spot on. Be prepared to have possibly the most fun you ever have had on the saxophone. Players who now or in the past have played, Guardala, Dukoff, Beechler, Jumbo Java, SR Tech, Vandoren V16, Yanigisawa, or any of the bright mouthpieces out there will be sure to love The DV. The is not just another bright mouthpiece. There will be noticeable differences (improvements). Players who play or have played my ESP or ESP-X and wanted more volume or a brighter sound will most definitely want to try the DV. In addition I have found that many straight ahead jazz players who tend to favour mouthpieces that are a little brighter than most mainstream dark mouthpieces have a very high chance of making the DV their new mouthpiece. All saxophone players are amazed to find a saxophone mouthpiece that works so efficiently, where the articulation is so clean and it's so easy to go from low to high and vice versa. The response that I've had from a wide variety of players tells me that the appeal of the DV will be very broad indeed. Like I say, prepare for the most fun you can have with your clothes on. The DV is available for Tenor Saxophone in the following facings:7 = .1017* = .1088* = .116 We recommend the 7* for the majority of players. Supplied with Rovner Ligature, Cap & Mouthpiece Pouch. The DV is manufactured on the most sophisticated computer controlled Lathes and Mills, yet the DV benefits from a high degree of hand finishing. The attention to detail in design and finishing given to the DV results in a stunning work of art that plays like a dream come true. This amount of care takes time and means that we are not able to meet the demand for this piece as quickly as we would like to.
