Detail 01
.105 tip opening
Mid-range for this line. Enough opening for volume and bend, close enough that intonation stays manageable over a long set.

What matters in use
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 01
Mid-range for this line. Enough opening for volume and bend, close enough that intonation stays manageable over a long set.
Detail 02
Metal body plays brighter and more focused than hard rubber. Plating resists corrosion from saliva and handling.
Detail 03
A different chamber and baffle treatment from the standard DV. Expect a different response and voicing at the same tip opening.
Detail 04
The star marks the wider tip within the 7 range. More air moved, more volume available, less resistance to lean on.
Detail 05
Sized for tenor only. It will not fit alto, soprano or baritone necks.

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
It's a separate variant of the same line with its own chamber and baffle work, so it responds and voices differently at the same tip number.
.105 — between the DV 7 at .101 and the DV 7* at .108. A middle option if neither of those felt right.
It fits standard tenor necks. Compressed cork may need building up, and thick cork may need light sanding for a snug, airtight seat.
Check the included items before ordering. If none is included, you'll need a ligature sized for a metal tenor mouthpiece, not hard rubber.
