Moderate. Easier to control and stay in tune than wider tips, still open enough to push volume.

JodyJazzDV NY Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Model 7 (.100 Tip)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tenor mouthpiece with a .100 tip, a middle-of-the-range opening. For players who want projection without committing to a very wide tip.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players moving up from a stock mouthpiece for the first time
- Gigging where you need volume but also intonation control
- Jazz and pop settings needing a focused, forward sound
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical players wanting a dark, blended tone
- Anyone already comfortable on wide tips wanting more openness
- First-year students on a rental horn
What matters in use

Detail 02
Model 7
Mid-range size in this line. The usual first step for players leaving a stock piece.
Detail 03
Tenor-specific
Cut for tenor. Will not seat correctly on alto or soprano necks.
Detail 04
DV NY design
The NY line leans bright and projecting rather than dark and warm.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a .100 tip good for someone stepping up from a stock mouthpiece?
Yes. It is open enough to feel like a real upgrade in volume and flexibility, but not so wide that intonation and control become a fight.
02What reed strength works on a 7?
Most players land a half to full strength below what they use on a stock mouthpiece. Start softer and work up until the tone firms without choking.
03Can I use this on soprano sax?
No. This is a tenor mouthpiece. Soprano requires a much smaller piece with a different shank size entirely.
04Why does the 7 cost more than the 8*?
Pricing here does not track tip size. Both are the same DV NY line; treat them as the same tier and choose on tip opening, not cost.
