JodyJazz® has announced the introduction of the new DV HR Tenor mouthpiece, adding to it’s popular DV HR Alto model launched earlier in 2023. The DV HR series models are the first hard rubber mouthpieces to feature the JodyJazz company’s patented DV design. The new DV HR Tenor is available in 6, 7, 7*, 8* & 9* tip openings.
The DV HR Tenor uses the patented DV secondary window to add mid and low harmonics, resulting in a more authoritative tone than normal tenor sax mouthpieces provide. The long straight, somewhat high baffle gives the mouthpiece it’s fantastic projection and cutting power along with excellent altissimo.
“The DV HR Tenor is a fun and exciting mouthpiece from the moment you play it,” said Jody Espina, Founder & Owner of JodyJazz Inc. “It will give you an effortless response that delivers shimmering highs and booming lows. You will be able to scream, cry and soothe with this versatile mouthpiece. Tenor sax players need a mouthpiece that lets them play a live gig with enough volume and highs to be heard, but to also be able to play beautifully and sweetly. The DV HR Tenor is that mouthpiece! It is made to be your ‘one mouthpiece’. Play one note and we think you will be instantly convinced,” he continued.
Like the Alto model, the DV HR Tenor 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 Tenor 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.
The DV HR Tenor is made at the JodyJazz Factory in Savannah, Georgia. Like all JodyJazz mouthpieces, 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 Tenor has an MSRP of $495.00.
