Free-blowing Power and Expression
For alto players looking to achieve a big, robust sound with fat bottom end and ample punch to cut through the band, Sweetwater recommends you give the JodyJazz DV HR Alto a serious audition. The DV HR Alto delivers all the benefits of the acclaimed DV series with the warmth of traditional hard rubber. The design’s patented DV secondary window adds mid and low harmonics to your sound, so you can cut through when needed. But there’s no hint of shrillness, so you can still romance a ballad. Much of the design, such as the facing curve, is inspired by golden mean proportions, resulting in a harmonious synergy that provides easy playing while allowing for a broad range of expression. The first hard rubber JodyJazz mouthpiece to incorporate a bite plate into the beak, the DV HR Alto mouthpiece is available in 5, 6, 7, and 8 tip opening sizes.
