JodyJazzDV Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Model 7 (.083 Tip)
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
JodyJazz DV alto mouthpiece with a wide .083 tip. For the player who already plays open pieces and wants more volume and edge than a stock piece gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud stages where you fight drums and amplified backline
- Lead alto in a horn section that needs to cut
- Players already comfortable on a .080-and-up tip
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners still building embouchure — the .083 tip tires you fast
- Classical and concert-band players needing a dark, blended tone
- Anyone unwilling to change reed strength to match
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Model 7 in the numbered range
Higher number means wider tip. The 7 sits above the 5 in this line by .011 inch.
Detail 03
Alto saxophone specific
Bore and shank are cut for an alto neck. Will not fit tenor, soprano, or bari.
Detail 04
$595 price
Professional tier. You are buying a finished, hand-checked facing rather than a mass-produced student piece.
Detail 05
Mouthpiece only
This is the piece your reed clamps to. It replaces the mouthpiece on your horn, nothing else.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Drop reed strength roughly half a step from what you use on a stock piece
- 02No reeds, ligature, or cap are part of the mouthpiece itself
- 03Check your ligature fits — body dimensions differ between mouthpiece makes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Should I get the 7 or the 5?
The 7 has a .083 tip, the 5 a .072. Go 7 if you want volume and bend and already play open. Go 5 if you want control and pitch stability.
02What reed strength works with a .083 tip?
Most players drop about half a strength versus a narrower piece. If you play a 3 on stock, start around a 2.5 here and adjust.
03Will this fit my tenor?
No. This is cut for alto. The tenor version is a separate piece.
04Does it come with a ligature?
Assume mouthpiece only. Confirm before ordering if you need a ligature and cap, and check that your current ligature closes on it.
