@tonyvu60 4 года назад

This vid is probably theost helpful since I have no idea how to characterize the "dark" and "bright" timbre.

@jazzcazzbazznazz4778 2 года назад

The way I understand dark vs bright is by thinking about how I would sing a certain song. One of my favorite classical pieces is Fugue in G minor, if I were to sing this to someone I would use a “bom” to represent the soft round darker tone of classical saxophone. If I were singing what Jay was playing at the end of the video I would probably use a combination of “da” and “ba” to give the impression of the hard sharp brighter sound.

@gnaagren 4 года назад

Well, as he says, his Alto sound is rather bright, naturally. You might achieve a similar sound with different equipment. Make sure to take enough time to listen to yourself with each mp. Play in different rooms, and record yourself. (Ideally with a mic, but even your phone can give you a bit of an "outside perspective.")

@davidskey 4 года назад

I’ve been playing a DV on alto and tenor for ~2 years. Simply the best mouthpiece I’ve ever played.

@knavar6314 4 года назад

I bought the DV 5-6 years ago and it’s still my primary mouthpiece! I’ve never really noticed how versatile it is but I can get my sound to go from Sanborn to Albright to Cannonball all on the same piece

@alexwillats 4 года назад

These all sound incredible! 🤩 I'm tempted by the DV NY because I love a darker sound but the DV is also very appealing, as it seems really versatile and I just love how it sounded. It's also a great looking piece 🤗 Thanks for another insightful and fun video. 🎷❤🧡💛

@charltoncalender9698 3 года назад

Thank you Jay. This video has really helped me figure out which mouthpieces to try out for my playing and budget. The winner for me was the Jet. It was brighter than i'm used to but with the dark ligature it's a great combination. Changed my whole sound and ease of getting low notes and altissimo notes! Great video and you play your tail off!!!

@grantkoeller8911 3 года назад

The HR* sounded great! It's perfect for bebop or lead alto. Absolutely has that New York Meyer vibe, such a perfect alto tone.

@nathanbensur1621 4 года назад

I just went through a trial of my own a few months ago with the Jody Jazz DV, HR* and Jet mouthpieces when I decided to get a more open version of the HR* I already owned. When I called for the mouthpiece trial, I was surprised to have Jody pick up the phone and talk with me about his mouthpieces. I wasn't going to try the DV because of the high price, but he convinced me that I had nothing to lose in giving it a try. I'm really glad I did, because that mouthpiece is fantastic and the one I decided to keep, easy blowing and seems to work with just about every reed I throw onto it. Stimulus money and birthday gift to myself. All the Jody Jazz mouthpieces were great, consistent like Jay says, just need to pick the one that suits your needs..

@jodyjazzofficial 4 года назад

Thanks so much for sharing your story - I’m really glad you are happy. I always say if you can afford a DV, there’s nothing to lose in giving it a try and if you can’t afford it we have great options for under $200

@josoccer5599 4 года назад

I have a Jody Jazz Jet in a size 9! And damn, that thing is LOUD! I use it for marching band and it's always so amazing to play, I would definitely recommend the jet.

@ruthjacobs7276 4 года назад

I've been using the rico B5 for 3 years now and know I should probably upgrade but times have been tough... but I'm not only in love with the DV NYs ascetics but as soon as you started playing it reminded me of my grandpops because of the same rich deep tone he always played in. 🙌🏾🧡💥
