JodyJazz® has announced the expansion of its popular new DV HR series saxophone mouthpieces with the introduction of the new DV HR Baritone model. The DV HR series models are the first hard rubber mouthpieces to feature JodyJazz’s patented DV design. The new DV HR Baritone is available in 6, 7, 7*, 8, 9 & 10 tip openings.
The unique features of the DV design, including the patented secondary window, were created through the application of the Golden Mean Proportions found in nature. Like the other models in the DV HR series, the proportions of the DV HR Baritone are therefore also derived from the Gold Mean proportions. The DV HR Baritone mouthpiece features the patented DV secondary window design to add mid and low harmonics, resulting in an authoritative, cutting tone yet with a bigger, huskier bottom than normal Baritone sax mouthpieces provide. The long straight, somewhat high baffle gives the mouthpiece superb cutting power and strong projection and when called upon can also offer excellent altissimo.
“The DV HR Baritone will give you an effortless response that delivers shimmering highs and booming lows,” said Jody Espina, founder & owner of JodyJazz Inc. “Baritone sax players need a mouthpiece that lets them play a live gig with enough volume and power to be heard, but that doesn’t lose richness in the tone. The DV HR Baritone really projects from the bandstand, but you will also be able to play beautifully and sweetly. Above all the DV HR Baritone is extremely versatile, it is made to be the only Baritone mouthpiece you will ever need. This is a fun and exciting Baritone mouthpiece to play. Play one note and we think you will be instantly convinced,” he continued.
The new DV HR Baritone model also features JodyJazz’s newest bite plate technology which enables a bite plate to be embedded into the beak of a hard rubber mouthpiece. The plate features the iconic ‘Phi’ symbol logo in gold, a characteristic of the classic DV series, creating a very attractive visual appeal.
The DV HR Baritone also features a stylized gold-plated brass ring on the shank of the mouthpiece. The distinctive profile of the ring was also created using the Golden Mean proportions. The brass ring adds more mass on the shank of the mouthpiece which results in increased stability, more body in the sound and increased harmonics.
Made at the JodyJazz Factory in Savannah, Georgia, the tip rail, side rails, baffle and table are all expertly finished by hand and each mouthpiece is individually play tested to maintain the highest consistency and quality.
The new DV HR Baritone has an MSRP of $550.00.
