The HR* is a hard rubber saxophone mouthpiece designed for professionals and students seeking a versatile, traditional mouthpiece. This mouthpiece boasts high-quality standards, a beautiful warm sound, and a smooth, free-blowing feel, making it an amazing player's choice. We believe this mouthpiece may be the best hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpiece on the market.
We use only genuine, authentic Hard Rubber, ensuring the HR* Series captures the look, feel, and sound of the vintage hard rubber sax mouthpieces that have long been the most sought-after. These mouthpieces are crafted on our state-of-the-art 5-axis CNC machine and then meticulously hand-finished and play-tested.
The HR* offers a full, lush vintage sound with minimal resistance, providing a warm, beautiful tone. It delivers very good projection for a dark-sounding mouthpiece, with a husky, barrel-chested quality and a great core complemented by rich complexity.
This versatile hard rubber mouthpiece with a traditional shape and sound is suitable for all types of music, playing effortlessly with ample power. It produces a huge, full tone with rich midrange and bottom tones, delivering a fat, husky sound.
The patented DV technology with a deep chamber provides fullness and a dark tone while remaining easy to play, with more power and less resistance than a metal mouthpiece but a similar warm tone. The Chedeville Hard Rubber, large round chamber, and curved undercut sidewalls create a complex sound, further enhanced by the heavy gold-plated brass ring on the shank.
Expertly hand-finished on the baffle, tip rail, and table, this mouthpiece has a slightly smaller chamber than Meyer and Link, offering more projection while maintaining a classic jazz sound. The patented design based on the "Golden Mean" includes a secondary window, allowing for more reed vibration.
Crafted using state-of-the-art 5-axis CNC technology combined with expert hand-finishing, this mouthpiece delivers a bigger, fuller tone than Dukoff and Guardala models. The new chamber shape provides a noticeably more powerful sound, and the shorter facing curve allows for effortless altissimo playing.
This contemporary-sounding mouthpiece is more versatile than other small-chamber models, capable of achieving a wide range of tones from warm and smooth to funky and dirty. It includes a ligature, cap, and pouch.
World-renowned jazz saxophonist Jody Espina, who has firsthand experience with the transformative power of the right saxophone mouthpiece, designed this product. Every JodyJazz mouthpiece is individually gauged and play-tested by our professional saxophonists to ensure consistent, high-quality performance.
Handcrafted in the USA, these mouthpieces combine expert hand-finishing with state-of-the-art 3D design techniques and 5-axis CNC machining, resulting in saxophone mouthpieces of unparalleled sound, playability, and beauty.
