JodyJazz JodyJazz HR* Custom Dark – Soprano Sax Mouthpiece

The HR* Custom Dark is Jody’s darkest mouthpiece for soprano

In addressing the inherent challenges of the soprano saxophone, which can occasionally veer towards being overpowering and shrill, the JodyJazz HR* Custom Dark emerges as a remarkable solution. This custom dark variant excels in tempering the instrument’s sound, seamlessly integrating it into a jazz setting. While retaining the rollover baffle characteristic, the substantial chamber plays a pivotal role in enhancing the overall synergy of the mouthpiece. It stands out as an excellent choice for jazz enthusiasts.

Crafted with precision, the JodyJazz HR* Custom Dark employs the finest material available in hard rubber mouthpieces—the proprietary Chedeville® Rubber by Jody. This CHR (Chedeville Rubber) boasts a softer and purer formulation compared to standard hard rubber, elevating the mouthpiece’s performance.

The HR* CUSTOM DARK Soprano Bore features a generously proportioned round chamber that imparts a warm and dark tonal quality. The inclusion of a thick, heavy gold-plated brass band on the shank enhances the harmonics in the sound, contributing to a rich and resonant auditory experience.

Delving into the specifics of the HR* CUSTOM DARK Soprano Baffle, the facing curve and baffle design are meticulously crafted to elevate the playability of the mouthpiece. Drawing on two decades of mouthpiece-making expertise, a fusion of science, technology, and handcrafted precision defines these key components. The result is a mouthpiece that not only addresses the challenges of the soprano saxophone but also brings joy to the player through a harmonious blend of innovation and craftsmanship.
