An exciting new addition to the DV Series saxophone mouthpieces, the new DV JC features design modifications based upon JodyJazz Founder & President, Jody Espina’s customized personal mouthpiece. Originally introduced in 2005, the DV series rapidly rose to become one of the most popular saxophone mouthpieces in the world, defying everyone’s expectations about the sound capabilities of a metal mouthpiece. The unique design of the DV offered free blowing power and projection without sacrificing a big fat mid-range and bottom end so commonly missing from most metal mouthpieces.
Over the years since the introduction of the DV, Jody has made a series of tweaks and modifications to the design of his personal DV mouthpiece. As a working musician, Jody would find himself being called upon to play a diverse array of musical genres from week to week and his goal was to make his mouthpiece more perfectly suit the variety of musical environments in which he would most commonly find himself. Now that special design is being made generally available to everyone for the first time.
In terms of sound, the new DV JC JODY CUSTOM is in between the DV and the DV NY. But most importantly there is a characteristic about this mouthpiece that makes it feel even less like a metal piece than the other DVs. It has a big, fat and warm sound with enough power to do all the variety of jobs you might ever play, but also sweet and dark enough to play beautiful ballads. Everyone is always impressed when they play our regular DV Series mouthpieces, but now we know that when you try the new DV JC JODY CUSTOM they won’t be able to put it down.
