Staff Review

We all know about the qualities of the regular Jody DV, so I’m not going to get into that, suffice to say that this mouthpiece has been a Classic on the scene for quite some time now. I always delight myself every time I try one of these (whether it be for alto, tenor or the others) in just how rich, resonant and FREE BLOWING they are. On to the Platinum edition, I told Jody that we needed to have more than 100 of these, but I respect his integrity in giving me the answer that 100 will be the final number, regardless of how quickly they sell. These mouthpieces are a celebration of everything that this incredible company has achieved over 20 years and if you buy one, this mouthpiece should be one to treasure for a lifetime!

Tonally, If I had to get drawn on it, I’d say there is a tiny bit extra ping in the sound (due to the plating) but I may have been influenced by the fact that I was blowing on a ‘platinum’ plated mouthpiece! However, perhaps this is not really the reason for owning one – in my view it’s more about being part of history. - Jim Cheek
