Description
Arguably the most free-blowing alto mouthpiece ever made. Bright, lively & rich in sound
With the DV mouthpieces, Jody Espina has called upon the Golden Ratio to design a mouthpiece that features unprecedented harmonic richness, body, and projection whilst providing a brighter, more balanced sound. The combination of a uniquely shaped step baffle, large chamber, and double window help to present a big, fat sound that is easy to produce and articulates effortlessly. Stick all of this into an alto mouthpiece and you're onto a winner!
The DV is manufactured on the most sophisticated computer-controlled Lathes and Mills, yet the DV benefits from a high degree of hand finishing. The attention to detail in design and finishing given to the DV results in a stunning work of art that plays like a dream come true.
DV Vs DV NY - How are they different?
Both mouthpieces have a full resonant sound due to the secondary window. The DV will have more projection and be brighter due to the raised floor of the chamber while the DV NY will have a more traditional Jazz sound and projection due to the deep full chamber. We often recommend trying both mouthpieces if you are not sure which model would suit you.
