Jodyjazz HR* 5M - Alto

A Series Designed for Jazz, in the Spirit of the Great Classics

Created by Jody Espina, the Jody Jazz brand has built a reputation around saxophone mouthpieces designed to meet the expectations of demanding musicians, from conservatories to the stage. The HR* series fits within this approach with a clear goal: to offer an ebonite mouthpiece with a decidedly traditional style, while benefiting from modern and meticulous manufacturing. Each mouthpiece is individually hand-crafted in Savannah (USA), according to strict standards, to provide a reliable and consistent experience.

For Which Musician and Styles?

The Jody Jazz HR* alto is aimed at both advanced students and professionals seeking a versatile mouthpiece with a warm sound. It excels in jazz (mainstream, bebop, swing), while remaining relevant in pop, funk, or ensemble contexts where a round tone that stands out in the mix is desired. Its balance makes it particularly interesting if you are looking for an all-around mouthpiece without sacrificing personality.

Tone and Design

Made of ebonite, the HR* emphasizes a warm timbre, with a playing feel close to the great jazz mouthpiece standards. The 1.83 mm tip opening contributes to comfortable response and precise control, while maintaining that famous free blowing that facilitates sound production across all registers. The result: a full tone, good homogeneity, and the ability to gain projection when you push the air to cut through a piano, rhythm section, or orchestra.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This mouthpiece is delivered without ligature or mouthpiece cap. To ensure a perfect fit on your alto saxophone, choose a ligature and mouthpiece cap compatible with alto saxophone (in the size and shape suitable for this mouthpiece).
