JODYJAZZ QUASAR ALTO SAXOPHONE MOUTHPIECE JodyJazz’s new Quasar Alto Saxophone Mouth- piece is the brightest and most powerfully projecting hard rubber alto mouthpiece Jody- Jazz has created. Designed for performance environments that range from contempo- rary jazz and fusion to commercial and pop settings, the Quasar delivers serious cut and clarity while retaining depth and body. The new Quasar model introduces several new innovations to JodyJazz’s design philosophy. At the heart is the new Vibra Table (patent pending), a table design that significantly increases reed vibration. The result is a free-blowing experience, letting players produce a bigger, more resonant tone with less effort and greater responsiveness across all registers. Another major advance- ment is a new bullet-shaped chamber, engineered to add superior body and fullness to the sound, bringing together brilliance and warmth. {jodyjazz.com}
