Jodyjazz DV CHICAGO 7 - TENOR

The DV Chicago Series: Jody Jazz DNA, Between DV and DV NY

Designed by Jody Espina, the Jody Jazz DV Chicago (DV CHI) is the result of research focused on playing efficiency and harmonic richness. Handmade in Savannah (USA), it follows a demanding artisanal philosophy: each mouthpiece is individually crafted, with strict quality control and special attention to detail. Within the range, the DV CHI serves as a natural bridge between the sound signatures of the DV and DV NY series, combining their qualities while integrating design adjustments aimed at expanding the palette and control of the sound.

For Which Tenor Saxophonist? Styles and Uses

This mouthpiece is intended for intermediate to professional saxophonists seeking a sound that is both jazz-typical and perfectly usable in contemporary contexts. Its dark, rich, and projected character is particularly suited to jazz (mainstream, bop, hard bop), variety, and ensembles where substance without aggressiveness is desired. It also meets the needs of demanding students aiming to take a step forward, provided they already have an established embouchure and a steady air column.

Sound and Design

The DV Chicago stands out with a design focused on the chamber and baffle to achieve smooth emission and a dense sound. It features solid projection, register homogeneity, and a response that favors clear articulation, while maintaining a rather dark and nuanced color. The choice of metal with a silver-plated finish provides a sensation of precision and stability, contributing to attack clarity without excessive brightness. The 2.57 mm tip opening aims for a good balance between power, control, and flexibility, allowing fine sound shaping.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The mouthpiece comes with a ligature and a mouthpiece cap, so you are ready to play immediately. For maintenance, a saxophone mouthpiece swab and a suitable cleaning product are recommended to preserve the cleanliness of the chamber and response consistency (without stressing the table and tip areas).
