Re: HR* 6, HRT1, Legere reed HR* 5m, HRA1, Legere reed It all started with Jody having a chat with Nigel from McGill's Sax school. Way too much info for me! I went to Jody's website, completed the 6 questions, got a reply within a day or two, ordered the mouthpieces with the round ligatures..very sceptical about these rings..how can a round "thing" just hold a reed in place? I had to make this decision after looking at my old reeds and the damage done to the outside due to forever tightening the ligatures screws to hold the reed down.. Package arrived..whoopy!..very beautiful products! At least I can put them next to my miniature instruments in my showcase if this was another "advertising" scam. So I started with the Alto..really? Better sound, but not quite right..the next day the Tenor..mmm, something is missing although a better sound. The it hit me..Jody suggested to go down half a strength..another email from Jody's support team suggested the American cut Legere reed for responsiveness...another 10 days... Finally it arrived...now I don't know much about all these educated words..tone, intonation, clarity, brightness etc., etc....this combination of mouth piece, ligature and reed for both instruments just works..I love the sound, it is now alive, it just feels easier to play! I am very impressed with the products, the functionality and the ease of setting it up. No more tightening screws! I do admit though, every now and then I take these items out and just look at them..so beautifully made...ok, that is just me. Thanks again for truly great products which can assist anybody now to focus on technique and know that the mouthpiece, ligature and reed are not the reasons for blowing more air than sound (for the sensitive folk out there, I am talking about myself!) Hey, I should get a Oscar for this review..ok, I will stop now.

Excellent customer support in terms of managing delivery at a time when delivery channels are constrained. Very happy with the HR* 7 Alto. I was previously using the DV 8 but it is too bright for me in the upper register. The HR* 7 is working well in both registers. Free blowing. Nice alto buzz in the lower register. Good altissimo. Solid piece.

I contacted Jody Jazz customer service for some advice on which mouthpiece would work best for what I needed to accomplish when playing my bari sax in a horn band (jazz/funk/soul). They were extremely helpful and provided plenty of information and answered all my questions. I purchased a Jody Jazz Jet 7 and have been working with it for several weeks now. I am still getting used to its responsiveness (very!) and it has been making me very happy - quite flexible, amazing projection, good intonation across the horn and free blowing. I may get an HR* mouthpiece to cover any ground the Jet may be a bit much for, but it is a great mouthpiece and a great, made in America company.
