This Jody Jazz DV CHI mouthpiece, for a tenor saxophone, has a 7 tip opening and includes a ligature, cap, and deluxe mouthpiece pouch. The DV CHI, strictly for tenor saxophone, features a big robust sound, medium round chamber, and a strong projection. This silver plated mouthpiece is darker than the DV, but brighter than the DV NY.
The DV Chicago model Palladium-plated metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece is the culmination of a quest by Jody Espina to make the most efficient saxophone mouthpiece that delivers the biggest, fullest sound.
The DV CHI produces a darker, less bright tone than the contemporary sound of the JodyJazz DV, but a considerably brighter more modern tone than the JodyJazz DV NY. The beautifully shaped baffle/chamber design of the DV CHI produces a tone that is reminiscent of Dexter Gordon but is quite at home in a contemporary situation.
Simply put, the DV CHI combines the best properties of the highly successful DV and DV NY series while adding several new design modifications which enhance the players ability to manipulate the tone. The scalloped chamber also allows the player to push more air through the mouthpiece without experiencing any harshness.
