This vid is probably theost helpful since I have no idea how to characterize the "dark" and "bright" timbre.
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.
Si
I’m Japanese college student studying jazz.
I learned a lot from this video.
Thank you so much!!!
I love the darker ones but they are all beautiful sounding. I’m an intermediate sax player and this is exactly what I need!
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.")
This is incredibly thorough and helpful (I’ve never previously fully understood the Jody Jazz lineup). Your engineering and playing skills make this VERY illuminating. Bravo, Jay!
Wow the HR* sounds amazing
I really love the Super Jet mouthpiece.
You are a very sensitive and emotional professional that has stayed very humble, and that is extremely rare! May GD bless you! Love your channel!
Sounding damn fine there Jay.A mouthpiece would be nice, but how about you send be me a bag of your technique!
I loved the tone and sound of the Jet mouthpiece
Have you heard anything about baffles,ie I used to have a water proof putty similar to blutac,place different shapes below the reed, press, in place, experiment freely
Oh man that HR* is so smooth
Finally! a video which properly demonstrates the differences between bright and dark tones on saxophone.
The HR* sounded great! It's perfect for bebop or lead alto. Absolutely has that
New York Meyer vibe, such a perfect alto tone.
His mouthpieces cost more than my entire Amazon alto saxophone 😂
Ouch lmao
Those mouthpieces cost more than my entire homestudio and musical equipment :( haha
The DV one is nearly the same price of my saxophone lol.
Same
@@Edgarromero94 Yes, it is overpriced, 10x more expensive compared to average price at Amazon. Only silly guy/student will buy it for practicing
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.
I hit like because I like saxophone gear review videos and premium mouthpiece giveaways like this one.
Wow! I Like that DV. I believe it suits my embouchure. 💞💞
All music sounds brilliant when you play.
I love the sound of the DV, best. It sounds like the most versatile of the five Jody Jazz mouthpieces. Thanks Jay.
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..
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
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
The HR* was definitely my favorite
Been playing professionally over 45 years and am a huge fan of the Super Jet Series! Play them on all my horns ...
Yet another great giveaway. Thank you so much for your generosity, Jay. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
HR* & DV sounded really nice!
Mouthpiece videos are the best
Got my DV NY years ago & still love it. I’d like to try the HR*. All in 6. Thanks for your vids.
I know the video is about the mouthpieces, which are amazing by the way. but man, you're a hell of a sax player. bet you hear that a lot but congratulations for all the work and study put in, it paid out!! huge fan
I concur. You play your butt off!!!
I bought the ruby red for soprano some 17 years ago and I am a die hard fan of Jody Jazz. I have already bought an HR* for my soprano. I would like a DV but it's a bit out of my budget for now. I have been suggesting Jody Jazz to anyone who would listen for years now. I love mine.
I think this is the best mouthpiece test video of the year... thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻
Got an HR* last year, and I absolutely love it!
I 'd LOVE the HR* !! .... I reckon this will sound great on my Truetone Alto :)
I'm a fan of the Jet and Super Jet mouthpieces, great videos by the way Jay! Thank you!
I just ordered the Jet, thanks for the reviews.
I'd love the superjet!! I'm a rock'roll guy!
I like the DV because it has a unique sound and it stands out from the rest
I like how you labeled the different sections of the video!
My horn professor persuaded me to get a HR* when I was in college and I love it still! It would be great to win the DV, it sounds amazing!
I have been playing on the HR* for years and I would like to move up to the DV NY.
I like the DV and the Superjet.
Dude, the intro alone was awesome!!!! Thank you!
I’ve been playing a DV on alto and tenor for ~2 years. Simply the best mouthpiece I’ve ever played.
I really love the sound of a DV, it sounds so clear and tuned whatever on lower or upper registers.
Love bright tone more bright is good
OMG the kind of video i need, i am looking for a new mouthpiece and jay just release this, nice video.
Love the sound of th DV.
The DV NY totally got me. What a great sound!
It's a DV for me!
Believe a greatly discounted course on that day would be a wonderful way to celebrate!
I've got the HR* alto piece and would love a DV to go with it, 7 tip opening. Drool.
Love the channel Jay. Been self-taught for a month now, and its all thanks to you. Got my Jean Paul AS-400 a few weeks back thanks to your recommendation, and its been a blast. I actually love riding my electric skateboard at the park while practicing my saxophone. Going to be looking to upgrade my mouthpiece soon, keep these mouthpiece videos coming, I'm still not sure of what I should get.
@@michaelmouawad3575 you leg end 😂🥴
@@michaelmouawad3575 It is absolutely risky. th-cam.com/video/1UzD9qLjNZc/w-d-xo.html
@@michaelmouawad3575 "foot"? or "hip"
I’m totally going to thumbs up this video when I get one in the mail
Thanks Jay, I bought the HR star for my Soprano.
This was a really cool video and I liked that it wasn’t just about selling a product. Nice music!
Bright tone sounds so nice.
I like jet and hr sounds great 👍🏻
I’ve always wanted to try a DV. Jody told me once that it should pair well with my Reference Alto.
I love the Dark sound of Jody Jazz DV NY!
Jody Jazz Super Jet - For me, is the best mouthpiece of them all! Hope I can win it :D
I would love the super jet mouthpiece
Thanks immensely.
The first one was superb
Thanks Jeff
Thanks, Jay, great information and of course playing.
My phone's a piece of crap(like my Alto mouthpiece) and it won't accept PDFs for some reason. I'm upgrading soon. I can't wait. Yourself and Chad and Pollock. Im so glad I found all of you. Thanks.
I really loved the sound of the HR * and it's sleek design! I hope I win that one! :)
Drooling over the SuperJet and that beautiful sound and look. Or the DV NY.
Another great video Jay!
Super jet... 😱😱😱 very nice sound😍
Every mouthpiece sounds amazing but the DV for me is the best!
A fine and useful video as always Jay
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!!!
I love all your vlogs ! very productive !
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. 🎷❤🧡💛
You’re the best! Thanks for your professional content
thank you for your lesson. I bought the Jody Jazz HR last year and i am so happy. I joined a bigband with my classical equipment and a Rascher mouthpiece and it was just frustrating.I felt in love with the Jody Jazz HR, because of your arguments: you have a wide tone range, you are very flexible, can even play soft jazz or classical music and the high notes are no desaster any more..........Thumbs up 👍
I liked the DV New York of the five you played. Saving up!
I have a DV and I love it
I love the sound of DV and HR* i think it's good to play at higher note...
Dear Jay, your sound on HR* is absolutely wonderful. I already play a HR* on alto with a small tip opening. I'd like to try a 7*. I still play it on tenor as you all might se from my image 😆
I’m a beginner alto sax player still learning have been watching your videos for a few weeks now and they’ve helped me out a lot. I liked the one that was right in the middle...sounded the most versatile. I believe it’s the DV.
I reall love the sound of Super Jet mouthpiece ,but all of them are very great.
Nice playing Jay.
I really like the Super Jet🔥
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. 🙌🏾🧡💥
i love this channel played nearly all my school years on sax mostly bari saxiphone and allows me some nostalga as it hard to find a bari sax thats affordable in my area
They all sounded incredibly bright to me
Man, i'm feeling the DV! It speaks my language in my tone...
Great video!
thank you for the idea.... very helpful and so amazing 😍😍😍
Jay...I like the DV and the Jet 7 for big band and small group setting. Would like to win any of these! Love your Channel, wish I would have had this when I was beginning my study in the 70’s.
The sound is amazing! It really captures how a thing as a mouthpiece can change a lot
Thank you Jay! Brilliant video. The DV sings to me, but i'd be equally as thrilled with the Jet. Thanks for all of your videos and inspiration.
immaculate playing, super sound !
Man that DV would be great for the situations I’d probably be in when playing.
It's very interesting to notice the clear difference between the darkest and the brightest mouthpiece sounds. The DV stills my fav. As always, amazing sound Jay!
wow, man. this exciting! thank you for the content you keep putting out. i am eyeing that Jet and DV!
Wow I would love the HR I’m going to be a senior in highschool and I’m looking forward to continuing music in college. It would be great to win one of these!
I love jody jazz for all the different tones build quality. Been playing for a couple of yrs now time for me to try a different mouthpiece. My kids bought me a jody jazz power ring for fathers day. Which would fit and my favourite super jet if I win or have to buy one . Keep the great work up love better sax .
I pray for winning the contest... Like so much the JET.
super jet of course! Loud!!!
Jay you've been killin it with the video editing lately , the small things make a huge difference !
This is my dream mouthpiece 😍😍😍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I would love DV
Jody Jet 7 is amazing , don t hesitate to try it , love it myself
HR Star for me, that sounds great!!
