But now you get all of that in a hard rubber mouthpiece, which gives you the shape and size in your mouth that you are used to with the added warmth and beauty of rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatented DV secondary window adds mid and low harmonics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGolden mean-inspired proportions for optimized acoustics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFree-blowing with powerful projection and full tonal spectrum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeatures new bite plate with gold Phi symbol logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold-plated brass ring on shank enhances stability and harmonics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlto sax players need a mouthpiece that lets them cut through when they need it but is not too shrill and can still play a pretty ballad. To some degree all players are looking for that versatility in one mouthpiece. The DV HR Alto is that mouthpiece. Play one note and it will be instantly convincing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DV HR Alto uses the patented DV secondary window to add mid and low harmonics to the sound, giving it some tenor sax characteristics resulting in a more authoritative tone than normal alto mouthpieces provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe proportions of the DV HR are derived from the golden mean proportions found in nature. When applied to a saxophone mouthpiece, Jody Espina found a magical set of proportions that have made the DV Series mouthpieces one of the most sought-after mouthpieces in the world. Now those magical proportions are available in a hard rubber mouthpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe facing curve is inspired by the golden mean as are many of the design decisions of the mouthpiece. The result is a harmonious invention that provides ease of playing while allowing for beautiful musical expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eMath and Music Make Sublime Art\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the DV HR Alto model, JodyJazz introduces its newest bite plate technology. The DV HR Alto is the first JodyJazz hard rubber mouthpiece to feature a bite plate embedded into the beak of the mouthpiece. The plate features the iconic Phi symbol logo in gold, a characteristic of the classic DV series, completing the stunning look of this mouthpiece. The bite plate is both beautiful and functional; however, JodyJazz recommends using a mouthpiece cushion on top of the bite plate for player comfort and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFree-Blowing Power with a Big Fat Versatile Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DV HR Alto features a stylized gold-plated brass ring on the shank of the mouthpiece. The distinctive profile of the ring was created using the golden mean proportions. The brass ring adds more mass on the shank, resulting in increased stability, more body in the sound, and increased harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes Not Include Ligature\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mouthpiece does not come with a ligature or a cap. A standard ligature for hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpieces should fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTip Opening - 7: 0.083 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: JodyJazz\u003cbr\u003eModel: JJDVHRA7\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I745536-N-0-WHXD\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 859668005663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
