Jodyjazz HR* CLARINET 6

An Iconic Piece of the Jody Jazz Approach

Founded by Jody Espina, the Jody Jazz brand is known for mouthpieces designed with a performance-driven logic: refined models, patented innovations, and careful craftsmanship. Each mouthpiece is individually handmade in Savannah (USA), with a high level of finish and quality control standards. The HR* series applies this philosophy to the clarinet: offering an expressive, stable, and efficient mouthpiece capable of supporting both precision and the personality of the sound.

For Which Clarinetists and Styles?

The Jody Jazz HR* is aimed at intermediate to professional clarinetists seeking a responsive, comfortable-to-blow mouthpiece capable of greater projection in an ensemble context. It is particularly suitable for styles requiring presence and projection (jazz, contemporary music, big band, brass band), while remaining relevant for any musician wanting smooth playability and solid intonation on a Bb clarinet with Boehm system.

Sound and Design

Thanks to its design promoting free blowing, the HR* offers less resistance : air flows more easily, resulting in better energy efficiency, increased flexibility, and a more accessible range of dynamics. Its sound is described as warm, with excellent intonation and facilitated response across all registers. On larger tip openings, the HR* adopts a more "jazz" profile: a higher ceiling helps achieve more projection and a touch of brightness that is welcome when volume needs to be increased without strain.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This mouthpiece is delivered without ligature or mouthpiece cap : plan to use a ligature and mouthpiece cap compatible with Bb clarinet Boehm system suited to the mouthpiece size, as well as a clarinet swab for regular maintenance.
