Detail 01
.115 tip opening
Toward the open side for baritone. More air, more volume ceiling, more pitch movement under your control — and less of a safety net.

JodyJazzDV NY Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece Model 7* (.115 Tip)
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Baritone sax mouthpiece with a .115 tip, JodyJazz's Model 7* opening. For a bari player who wants a freer blow than the standard 7.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bari players who find standard openings too resistant
- Someone chasing more volume and pitch flexibility on the low horn
- Players comfortable dropping to softer reeds to make it work
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Alto or tenor players — baritone only
- Players still building bari embouchure strength and air support
- Anyone who wants maximum control and steady pitch over flexibility
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
The star in 7*
It marks a half-step between sizes. The 7* is .115 against the plain 7's .110 — a small but noticeable difference in blow.
Detail 03
Same price as the 7
Both are $750, so pick by how open you want to play rather than by cost.
Detail 04
Baritone-specific
Cut for a bari neck. It won't fit alto or tenor, and there's no adapting it.
Detail 05
Single mouthpiece, not a set
Ligature and reeds are separate purchases, and on an opening this wide the reed choice does most of the work.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Plan on softer reeds than you use now — a wide tip needs them
- 02Long sets get tiring on an open tip until you adapt
- 03Check ligature fit before committing; don't assume your current one seats
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between the 7 and the 7*?
Tip opening only: .110 on the 7, .115 on the 7*. The 7* blows freer with a higher volume ceiling; the 7 offers more resistance to push against.
02Is .115 too open for me?
It's on the open side for baritone. If you already play a wide tip and use softer reeds, it'll suit you. If you're on a stock piece, the 7 is the safer step.
03Will this fit alto or tenor?
No. Baritone saxophone only — the shank won't seat on a smaller horn's neck.
04Do I need to change reeds?
Most likely down a half to a full strength from a closer tip. Stiff reeds on a .115 opening make the mouthpiece feel unresponsive and tiring.
