3. To produce the most beautiful tone on any JodyJazz mouthpiece so far.

To create the most efficient saxophone mouthpiece possible while emulating the sound of the Classic 50's and 60's metal Baritone sax mouthpieces. That means that a beautiful, rich baritone sax tone can be produced with less effort than on previous mouthpieces.

The new facing curve results in absolutely no dead spots in the vibration of the reed. In other words all notes in all ranges respond equally. This Baritone sax mouthpiece has a husky barrel-chested tone and can sing sweetly and beautifully. Sub toning and low notes are extremely easy and the second octave of the baritone is less muddy than other traditional models while still sounding warm and full. Intonation is spot on. Be prepared to be inspired by your tone.

I have found that many jazz baritone saxophone players are playing saxophone mouthpieces that are stuffy and have a high degree of resistance. Also low notes can be more difficult to play on these older mouthpieces.

We have had many converts who were playing the most popular Jazz saxophone mouthpieces and who are amazed to find a saxophone mouthpiece that works so efficiently, where the articulation is clean and one can easily go from low to high and vice versa and still retain a beautiful full warm tone.

The DV NY saxophone mouthpieces are manufactured on the most sophisticated computer controlled Lathes and Mills, yet the DV NY benefits from a high degree of hand finishing. The attention to detail in design and finishing given to the DV NY results in a stunning work of art that plays like a dream come true.

How Does The DV NY Do IT? Deep Full Chamber Golden section proportioning Proprietary CNC facing technology Perfect radius facing curve Perfect reed/Tip match Secondary Window Play tested by Jody Espina

DV NY Difference Phi Proportions - Or the Golden Section Proportioning. The proportions that are found in the Stradivarius Violin, the Nautilus shell, the dolphin, human beings, the Ancient Pyramids and much more, are used for the first time on a saxophone mouthpiece. These proportions result in a chamber that increases harmonics making the sound bigger and richer. For more information about Phi, visit at http://www.goldennumber.net Secondary Window - The moving sound wave inside of the mouthpiece is now able to strike the vibrating reed above the bore of the mouthpiece instead of the mouthpiece material that is usually there. The effect is similar to a moving ball striking a moving bat. Home Run! New Facing Technology and Curve - With our CNC Milling machine we have come up with a new proprietary way of putting on a facing curve, which is perfect every time.   DV NY vs. DV (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. Photo: (Front: DV | BACK: DV NY) Special Notes on The DV NY Bari Saxophone Mouthpiece Be prepared to use or at least try harder reeds than you normally do due to the free blowing nature of the DV NY’s and the DV’s. 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, there is a small possibility that you may want to try a slightly more open tip than normal. For example, Otto Link # 7 players will usually play a DV NY 7*. Also please note that if you are coming from a bright mouthpiece like the Dukoff or Guardala it is very likely that the DV instead of the DV NY will be more to your liking. This is because the DV while having a lot of power and projection still has a lot of bottom in the sound. The DV NY has plenty of bottom in the sound but it does not have as much projection as the DV. In other words if you are playing a lot of gigs where you need a lot of volume you may want to choose the DV. We often recommend trying both mouthpieces if you are not sure which model would suit you.

The most popular tip opening range will be 7*, 8,. Players seem to prefer a size larger than what they would comparably play on a Link, for example, due to the relatively free blowing nature of the DV NY.

6 = .100   7 = .110   7* = .115   8 = .120   9 = .130   10 = .140

The mouthpiece comes with a Gold Plated Rico H Ligature, FF Cap, Mouthpiece Pouch and special Wood Cylinder case
