Jody Jazz Alto Saxophone DV Mouthpiece
In Stock

Jody Espina has introduced the concept of Golden Section Proportions to the art of high end saxophone mouthpiece design. The DV Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece has a perfect chamber/bore/facing combination will result in an extraordinary playing experience for you.

DV vs DV NY (How are they different?)

Both mouthpieces have a full resonant sound due to the secondary window. The DV will have more projection and be brighter due to the raised floor of the chamber while the DV NY will have a more traditional Jazz sound and projection due to the deep full chamber. We often recommend trying both mouthpieces if you are not sure which model would suit you.

Special Notes on The DV Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

Due to the free blowing nature of the DV alto and all the DVôs , be prepared to use a harder reed than you normally do. This may or may not be the case for you. The great benefit of this is that a harder reed lasts longer and a harder reed helps the altissimo range. For this same reason, you may want to try a slightly more open tip than normal. For example, Meyer 6 players, will usually play a DV Alto 7.

    "The shop provides a large range of varieties. We spent very pleasant two hours in it and bought a Yamaha YSL-882OII that is out of stock everywhere in Singapore, a beautiful saxophone and other accessories that we needed. Great thanks to the shop owner who patiently allowed us to try so that we could take our time to make decisions. Highly recommended!"
