High quality manufacture for very good sound
By Derek Grimmell
The biggest problem with most mouthpieces is manufacturing defects. Sometimes the table is not exactly flat, or the rails don't curve at exactly the same rate. These Jody Jazz HR mouthpieces are all well-manufactured; you will never be fighting your mouthpiece, nor will you ever need a custom refacing. That said, it's important to have a well-prepared reed as well, or you could end up blaming your mouthpiece when the reeds are the problem. If you buy one of these, you can be confident that further problems are the fault of reeds. to prepare reeds for playing, the best 1-2 combination I know of is the ATG reed preparation method, which you can find on youtube and Google, coupled with the ReedGeek tool for flattening the reed table and precise touch-ups. I found this mouthpiece to be pretty reed friendly. I've tried it with Rico Jazz Selects, Vandoren ZZ and V16, and Rigotti Gold, getting somewhat different tones from each but all of them giving me a sound I liked.As far as sound goes, this mouthpiece seemed to me to give the player a lot of flexibility. It's less bright than the metal mouthpieces, so the sound is good for classical playing, but like all of Jody Espina's mouthpieces this one can also take a lot of air without the tone going bad. So it's also suitable for playing in jazz ensembles. It has only a mild amount of "buzz" to the tone, again putting it right in the middle of the road of the different types of sound a saxophonist might want.This would probably be ideal for a student who plays in multiple different groups. It's also (obviously) suitable for a pro, if it fits your tone concept. An extremely funky sound is probably not possible, and this may not be bright enough to cut through an electrified group, but other than that, it will suit most uses.
