The Jody Jazz Classic Alto Sax mouthpiece is a "free blowing" easy to play mouthpiece that captures the full range of tonal qualities of the instrument. All Jody Jazz Mouthpieces are precision injection molded from a blend of high tech plastic and synthetic rubber. Every mouthpiece is hand finished to insure the absolute best quality. The Classic model comes with a removable baffle which makes the mouthpiece louder and brighter when inserted into the mouthpiece. It"s like having two mouthpieces in one. In addition, each mouthpiece is individually play tested by Jody Espina to insure a perfect seal with the reed and proper response throughout the range of the saxophone.
