JodyJazz HR* Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece - 7

Warmth and Beauty – The JodyJazz HR* 7 Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece

The HR* is a hard rubber saxophone mouthpiece aimed at professionals and students looking for a traditional versatile mouthpiece. High quality control standards, a beautiful warm sound and a nice free-blowing feel make these soprano saxophone mouthpieces amazing players. JodyJazz believes that this mouthpiece may be the best hard rubber soprano saxophone mouthpiece on the market.

• Beautiful warm tone
• Free blowing
• Reed friendly
• Blends well
• Power and projection
• Traditional to modern sound

JodyJazz uses only genuine, authentic hard rubber so the HR* Series has the look, feel and sound of the vintage hard rubber sax mouthpieces that have always been the most highly sought after. These mouthpieces are created on a state-of-the-art 5 axis CNC machine and then meticulously hand finished and play tested.

The HR* soprano mouthpiece is a round chamber mouthpiece which provides a round sound in contrast to a more focused sound which a square chamber provides. This allows the HR* to sound very pretty and the medium chamber allows the piece to have very good projection when pushed.

Players who now or in the past have played Meyer, Otto Link, Bari, Vandoren, Yanagisawa, or any of the straight ahead hard rubber jazz mouthpieces out there will be sure to love the JodyJazz HR*. The differences come from JodyJazz’s particular facing curve, the exact size and shape of the chamber and their commitment to quality control.

Many different sounds are possible on the JodyJazz HR* hard rubber soprano mouthpieces. For example: For a classical style, try the number 5 model with a relatively hard reed. For a sound similar to Branford Marsalis, use a HR* 6*–7* with a medium reed like you might normally use. Play softly and you will hear that beautiful sound with a hint of air in it. Play loudly and you will get the power you need. These are just the broadest suggestions. The real answer about sound is for the player to experiment and find out what works.

JodyJazz has found that many players who have been playing a hard rubber soprano sax mouthpiece for many years are in need of a replacement (due to wear and tear) and do not know where to turn. They have had many converts who came from playing the most popular hard rubber jazz pieces. These players are almost always surprised at the quality and consistency of JodyJazz hard rubber soprano mouthpieces.
