JodyJazzHR* Hard Rubber Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece Model 7 (.070 Tip)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hard rubber soprano sax mouthpiece with a .070 tip. The more open of JodyJazz's two mid-priced HR* soprano sizes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who find narrow tips stuffy and resistant
- Soprano players already using softer reeds
- Upgrading from a stock mouthpiece and wanting more openness
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who rely on back-pressure to control pitch
- Anyone whose horn is not a soprano saxophone
- Beginners still building embouchure strength
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
Hard rubber body
Warmer and less bright than metal. It also warms up faster to mouth temperature than a metal piece.
Detail 03
Model 7
A full size above the 6 in JodyJazz's numbering. The step from 6* to 7 is a small, incremental change.
Detail 04
Soprano-specific
Sized for a soprano neck only. Won't seat on alto, tenor or baritone.
Detail 05
$219 price point
Mid-tier. Same price as the 6*, so tip opening is the only choice you're making here.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ligature, cap and reeds are not included
- 02A more open tip usually means dropping a reed strength — budget for reeds
- 03Check neck cork fit before first play; cork may need adjusting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Should I get the 7 or the 6*?
The 7 (.070) is more open and generally takes a softer reed. The 6* (.065) is tighter and offers more resistance to push against. Same price either way.
02Will my current reeds still work?
Possibly not at the same strength. A more open tip typically calls for a softer reed than a narrower one.
03Is hard rubber more fragile than metal?
It's softer, so the tip and table chip more easily if dropped or knocked. Cap it when it's not in your mouth.
04Does this fit any soprano sax?
It's cut for soprano necks generally. Individual fit depends on your cork — it may need grease or light sanding to seat.
