Which JodyJazz saxophone mouthpiece should I buy for tenor or baritone?

Published · Last updated

Answered by Roadie

For tenor sax, consider the JodyJazz DV Metal 7*; for baritone, consider the JodyJazz Super Jet 6. These fit different saxophone types, so choose for your instrument first, then try the mouthpiece for comfort and response.

The JodyJazz DV Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Metal 7* is the tenor option here, with a listed best new price of £566. The JodyJazz Super Jet Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece 6 is the baritone option, listed at £392. They aren’t alternatives for the same instrument.

Don’t treat the 7* and 6 markings as a direct comparison of playing difficulty. When choosing a mouthpiece, its tip opening and your reed pairing both matter; these listings alone aren’t enough to predict how either will feel for you.

If possible, try the appropriate model with your own sax and reeds before buying. Check comfortable response, tuning and control across your usual range—those tell you more about suitability than the brand name or price alone.
