Please see what Wally has to say about the HR* Tenor Mouthpiece and the ESP Tenor Gold.

Wally West on the New JodyJazz ESP Tenor Gold

Wally West

"When Jody came out with his new Hard Rubber Series I knew I had to jump on it. It's a great tenor sax mouthpiece. It's just amazing. My previous hard rubber mouthpiece ( which was refaced by one of the best in the business) is in the drawer. Jody, you're a genius. You set a barometer for the mouthpiece world. I absolutely love my JodyJazz ESP Tenor mouthpiece but when I want that hard rubber sound and feel the HR* is perfect. "

"Jody, your JodyJazz Tenor ESP rocks the house! I've never played a mouthpiece with more versatility - ever. The dark warmth and richness of my old Link, as well as the edge and projection I never thought I'd get all in one mouthpiece. I always knew you were a great saxophone player, but my respect for you continues to thrive with your skills as a mouthpiece designer. This is truly an unbelievable mouthpiece! For those who are hardcore Link users, this is the new mouthpiece you need to play. In one week I had the opportunity to play everything from orchestral music to jazz quartet to hard-rocking R&B, and the JodyJazz ESP covered all styles and genres perfectly. Jody, thanks for bringing a new found love into my playing!"
