"The new DV New York models have arrived from Jody Jazz and as you would expect stand out as an impressive mouthpiece choice for your tenor sax. The difference between the DV and the DV NY is most noticeable in the baffle; this is the metal ledge that leads from the mouthpiece tip before dropping in to the chamber. On the NY this is very low indeed, meaning that the 'drop' into the main chamber is not nearly as severe. This gives the NY a slightly less aggressive projection than the standard DV - but nevertheless retains a very big tone. Sub tones seem to be naturally warmer with the NY and the top notes cut very clearly. I would say there is a flexibility with this mouthpiece that is perhaps missing from some of the other, more full on - raucous, top end mouthpieces. A very good all rounder which promises a maturation of tone." - Will, sax.co.uk
