The DV HR Series: Jody Jazz DNA Serving the Baritone

Created by Jody Espina, Jody Jazz mouthpieces have established themselves through their artisanal approach and performance-oriented design choices. Individually handmade in Savannah (USA) under very strict quality control standards, the DV HR Baritone belongs to an iconic series: offering immediate playability and a modern sound while maintaining the richness and musicality expected from an ebonite mouthpiece.

For Which Baritone Saxophonists?

The Jody Jazz DV HR Baritone is aimed at intermediate to professional saxophonists seeking a mouthpiece capable of "cutting" through an ensemble without losing nuance. It is particularly suited for jazz, funk, big band, contemporary music, and stage situations where projection and presence are essential. Its versatility also allows for deep sound work, with a softer tone when breath control and embouchure are mastered.

Sound and Design

Designed for effortless response, this mouthpiece emphasizes sparkling highs and punchy lows, with assertive projection. The patented DV design incorporates a secondary window intended to enrich mid and low harmonics, producing a more "authoritative" sound than many traditional baritone mouthpieces.
Its long, slightly raised straight baffle promotes a clear attack, excellent projection, and strong stability in altissimo. The presence of a stylized gold-plated brass ring on the shank increases mass, contributing to stability, body of sound, and harmonic density. The entire piece is crafted from ebonite and hand-finished to ensure consistent facing and a precise feel under the reed.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This mouthpiece is delivered with a pouch, but without ligature or mouthpiece cap. To complete your setup, choose a ligature and mouthpiece cap specifically compatible with baritone saxophone (compatibility depends on the exact model and dimensions, so it is best to verify before purchase).
