The HR* Series: Jody Jazz's "Vintage" Vision
Founded by Jody Espina, the Jody Jazz brand has established itself through saxophone mouthpieces designed to meet the expectations of demanding musicians, from advanced students to professionals. The HR* series fits within this approach: offering an ebonite mouthpiece with a traditional style, attentive craftsmanship, and a performance-oriented approach. Each model is individually hand-made in Savannah (USA), with great attention to detail.
For Which Saxophonist and Styles?
The Jody Jazz HR* for alto saxophone is aimed at intermediate to professional saxophonists seeking a versatile mouthpiece inspired by classic jazz references. Its balance makes it an excellent choice for jazz, pop, big band, and contemporary music, while remaining controllable enough for situations where a round and clean sound is desired.
Sound and Design
Made of ebonite, the HR* emphasizes a warm sound, a rich timbre density, and a natural playing feel. Its 2.29 mm tip opening contributes to good flexibility and a lively response without sacrificing stability. The series' goal is clear: a mouthpiece with easy emission, homogeneous across the instrument's range, capable of maintaining beauty in dynamics while offering a more assertive projection when needed.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This mouthpiece is delivered without ligature or mouthpiece cap. To protect the mouthpiece and safely transport your equipment, it is recommended to pair it with a suitable ligature and mouthpiece cap for the alto saxophone mouthpiece.

I already had the HR*6 and wanted to move to a bigger opening for Jazz.
I chose HR*8 without really being able to try, if I needed 7 or 9 instead...
Good surprise, the difference can be felt (luckily otherwise it would be useless to change) while ensuring continuity and ease of play. Obviously to be seen in the longer term.
Fast and efficient delivery, parcel tracking too.Automatically translated
