The JodyJazz ESP Bari Gold is here! Praise for the ESP Bari Sax Mouthpiece: In the February 2004 issue of a JazzTimes, Magazine, (pg 111) there is a feature article reviewing all of the JodyJazz ESP's from soprano to tenor. The reviewer, Paul Harr, who plays a lot of bari, wrote that the ESP bari prototype that he played (.110) was the best bari mouthpiece that he had ever played. "The JodyJazz ESP Baritone is the mouthpiece I've been searching
for. It has tremendous dynamic range, going from a beautiful, warm
pianissimo to a gutsy, full bodied roar. It does all that without
losing responsiveness or intonation in any range. I feel confident
I'll be able to handle a wide range of music, from classical sax
quartets to big band, and be totally comfortable in all of them.
I've tried a lot of bari sax mouthpieces, and this is the best one
I've found." "The Jody Jazz Mouthpiece, besides being beautiful, has a rich
and warm sound. There is room at the edges to find all the interesting
tonal language that makes the saxophone such an expressive instrument.
The insert is a great item for a bari sax player that is playing
with an ensemble that has a thick sound and mid to low sound spectrum.
The mid tones of the Baritone saxophone are often covered up in
this situation. The ESP has a good bottom, clear top tones and makes
playing in tune easier." A very good player who tested the prototypes for me, told me in a calm voice, that if I didn't make one for him, he would kill me. "As many of you know, I'm primarily a baritone sax player and have
a pretty big personal collection of mouthpieces. I can say without
hesitation that Jody has finally solved the problems inherent with
the baritone saxophone mouthpiece: the intonation is flawless and
and the voicing is unusually even throughout the range. I found
the altissimo to be effortless, and love the fact that the ESP offers
no resistance. It sounds good without the Spoiler insert, although
I much prefer the additional cut and projection that the Spoiler
gives. The machine work is flawless, and the mouthpiece feels very
comfortable in the mouth. My personal selection ended up being a
.120, gold plated. Thanks, Jody! You 'da man!" Free blowing * Huge effortless low notes  The JodyJazz ESP is a metal baritone saxophone mouthpiece with flawless workmanship. The workmanship is evident in the beautiful thin side and tip rails and hand cut baffles. This metal sax mouthpiece is CNC machined from a solid bar of the finest virgin brass, meaning no seams! The ESP is beautifully plated with the finest 24kt, Hard Gold plating available. A very interesting feature is that the new JodyJazz has a removable baffle with a 24kt Gold plated secondary reed which gives the mouthpiece more brilliance and projection.
The price is $450.00 USD Including Shipping for an ESP Bari Gold. The mouthpiece is shipped with a Deluxe Rovner Dark Ligature and cap, a special removable baffle with a 24kt Gold plated secondary reed, and a deluxe mouthpiece pouch.
The ESP Bari Gold is available in the following tip openings: ESP .080 = Otto Link 4 In designing the ESP Bari Gold, I wanted a metal baritone sax mouthpiece that would allow me to play with the warmth and depth of Harry Carney or Gerry Mulligan and then be able to cut and roar like Ronnie Cuber and Nick Brignola. The ESP baritone sax mouthpiece is everything that I hoped for. This bari mouthpiece is a true member of the ESP family. Players will find the same qualities in the new bari mouthpiece that the other ESP's possess. Now that I'm playing ESP's on all of my saxes, I love going from one horn to the next without having to change my concept or approach in the slightest. This metal baritone sax mouthpiece can roar or purr which makes it a joy to play. "ESP Gold Club"
