Detail 01
.115 tip opening
Slightly tighter than the Model 8. Less air needed, easier pitch control, a bit less top-end volume on tap.

JodyJazzDV Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece Model 7* (.115 Tip)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
JodyJazz DV baritone mouthpiece with a .115 tip. The step below the 8 — a pro-level piece that stays manageable over a long set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players stepping up from a stock mouthpiece without jumping to a wide tip
- Long gigs where endurance matters more than maximum volume
- Bari players who want projection but still need to blend
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners who haven't settled their embouchure yet
- Players already happy on a .120 wanting more openness
- Anyone needing a budget piece — this is professional pricing
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*
The star means it sits between 7 and 8 on JodyJazz's scale. A half-step in tip size, not a different design.
Detail 03
DV line
This is the standard DV, not the NY variant. Same family, different model — worth playing both before deciding.
Detail 04
Baritone-specific
Sized for bari only. Your alto or tenor reeds, ligature and cap will not work with it.
Detail 05
$750
Professional tier pricing. This is a long-term setup decision, not a piece to swap out casually.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Reed strength likely shifts from your stock piece — test before relying on it
- 02Check your ligature fits; bari ligatures are not interchangeable across pieces
- 03Expect some neck cork adjustment to seat it properly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Should I get the 7* or the 8?
The 7* has the tighter .115 tip — easier control and endurance. The 8's .120 gives more volume ceiling but demands more air. Choose by how hard you already blow.
02What reed works with a .115?
Most players run a bit softer than they would on a close stock piece. Start half a strength down from your current reed and adjust from there.
03Is this a big jump from a factory mouthpiece?
Yes. A professional facing changes response and resistance noticeably. Give yourself a couple of weeks before judging it.
04Does it come ready to play?
You'll need a bari reed and a ligature that fits this piece. Check both before your first rehearsal with it.
