Jodyjazz DV Ny 7 - Alto

The DV NY series: the Jody Jazz spirit, between tradition and innovation

Created by Jody Espina, Jody Jazz mouthpieces have established themselves among saxophonists seeking meticulous craftsmanship and a decidedly musical approach to design. Each mouthpiece is individually hand-worked in Savannah (USA), with particular attention to consistency and quality of finish. Within the range, the DV NY stands out as a more "old school" variation of the DV: it aims for a reference sound, rich and expressive, favoring chamber depth and immediate response.

For which alto saxophonist and styles?

The Jody Jazz DV NY alto is intended for intermediate to professional musicians who want a mouthpiece capable of producing a traditional, warm, and nuanced jazz sound without struggling against resistance. It is particularly suitable for jazz (bop, hard bop, swing), "small band" contexts, and situations where one seeks color and grain rather than modern brightness. Demanding students will also find an excellent partner for progression, provided they already have a relatively stable embouchure and air column.

Sound and design

The signature of the DV NY comes from its deep chamber, which brings a sense of width and immediate roundness at the attack, with a less aggressive upper spectrum. The result: a darker sound, very typical of classic jazz, while maintaining good presence. The design aims for easy emission and quick response across all registers, which helps to chain dynamics and articulations without effort. Made of metal and 24-carat gold plated, it also offers mouth comfort appreciated by many alto players, with a fuller feeling than a very thin profile.

Recommended compatible accessories

This mouthpiece is delivered with a ligature and a mouthpiece cap : you have the essentials to play immediately. To preserve the finish and hygiene, regular maintenance with a saxophone mouthpiece swab and gentle cleaning after each session are strongly recommended.
