Strong match

Who this is for

  • Working soprano players replacing a piece they've outgrown
  • Anyone who already knows .065 is their tip size
  • Players who want the top of JodyJazz's soprano range

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Beginners still finding their tip opening preference
  • Players unwilling to spend nearly triple the HR* price
  • Anyone who needs a wider tip than .065

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 01

.065 tip opening

A narrower facing. Pairs with a harder reed and gives more resistance and pitch control than an open tip.

Detail 02

Model 6*

The half-step between 6 and 7 — for players who find a 7 loose and a 6 tight.

Detail 03

DV line

JodyJazz's higher-end soprano series, priced well above their HR* line at the same tip opening.

Detail 04

$595 vs $219 for the HR*

Same tip size, very different price. Worth it only once you know the facing suits you.

Detail 05

Soprano-specific

Cut for a soprano neck. Not usable on alto, tenor or baritone.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No ligature, cap or reeds included — confirm your ligature fits this body
  2. 02At this price, try the tip opening on a cheaper piece first
  3. 03Check neck cork fit before playing; cork may need grease or sanding

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this worth $595 over the $219 HR*?

Both are .065 in a 6* facing, so you're paying for the DV line itself, not a different tip size. Worth it once you know that facing works for you.

02Does a ligature come with it?

No. Plan on your existing ligature and cap, and check that it closes correctly on this piece.

03Will this fit my soprano saxophone?

It's made for soprano necks. Actual fit comes down to your cork thickness — expect to grease it or sand it slightly.

04What reed strength should I start with?

A .065 tip is on the narrow side and typically calls for a harder reed than an open-tip piece. Start near your current strength and adjust.
