Theo Wanne Durga 3 vs. Jody Jazz DV Platinum (20th Anniversary)|Spanish Subtitles

Jody Jazz DV Platinum 20th Anniversary vs. The Theo Wanne Durga for tenor saxophone.
Jody Jazz DV Platinum 20th Anniversary
According to the Joddy Jazz web site, this mouthpiece was made to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Joddy Espina’s company. Production was strictly limited to 100 units. The one Im using for this video is number 20 out of 100. The main difference between this model and the regular DV is the platinum plating finish vs. the gold plated. ALSO, the bite plate one the platinum mouthpiece is a special emerald green instead of the traditional black plate. This version has the same secondary window design as the DV. In terms of size it's only available on 7* which equals to .108. The regular DV comes with a Rico ligature while the platinum version includes a Rovner Platinum ligature. The mouthpiece comes in a nice leather pouch and a bamboo canister and a certificate of authenticity signed by Jody Espina.
Theo Wanne Durga model 3
According to the Theo Wanne web site the Durga produces a powerful and fat-sounding as well as a unique designed baffle and deep rounded inner sidewalls with a large chamber. This mouthpiece has a built-in ligature with a two-point contact system that can be moved back and forth with an included hex-driver in order to adjust the tone. In FACT, in the Theo Wanne web site there are some ligature pressure plates available in different materials that are supposed to affect the sound. It also comes with a very cool reed replacer cap to protect the mouthpiece.

Thank you for this thoughtful and well-done video. We have people calling us to buy the Anniversary Model. We never sold them directly and are not aware of any more stores that have them. If you want to sell yours someday give us a call and we can send people your way. All the best, Jody

[@hornsmiami7268]

Hi Jody, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the info on the Anniversary mouthpiece. I am a fan of your products and use a DV Jazz on my soprano sax. Looking forward to review other products in the future. Regards

This video was great man nice quality! Keep it up!

[@TheCabbageMan]

I seriously love your tone, especially on the Durga. Great stuff man.

[@hornsmiami7268]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobblues1158]

Immediately the Durga seemed right. Very interesting. Thankyou!

[@Edgarsax67]

Both of them sound great...however I liked more the way that the DV sound on you. Obviously it depends on the sound that you have in mind versus the comfort and wich one helps you more to obtain what you want. You play so well! Killer sound.

[@bestsamplesvstkontaktdaw1678]

Thank you for the video, I like more the sound of Jody Jazz, sound more dark. And look like more easy to controller. Thanks 🙏

[@Dmorrowshares]

Awesome, thank you!

[@paoloalbano4690]

Great sound and a great player.. thank you for the video. I liked the Jody Jazz. More suitable for jazz. Thanks again

[@hornsmiami7268]

Thanks for your feedback paoloalbano4690!

[@johnrogers7411]

Durga sounds better suited for old school r&b thick sound. The Jody has a more nasal sound which I think is better suited for smooth jazz. You sounded great on both.

[@alexmorales8563]

Thanks, hope to have more soon!

[@yena761]

Durga 👍🏿

[@TheAbdelsax]

i LOVE BOTH LOL, BUT THE DV IMPRESSES ME MORE

[@TheFluteboy1]

You sound great on both mouthpieces. I favor what you played on The Jazz! Lovely harmonic sense. I am going to review several Bari pieces, one of which is Hs*, playing on my old Buescher, so we will see. Best Wishes, Richard

[@hornsmiami7268]

Hi Richard, thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Love to hear your Bari! Stay safe neighboor.

[@bobblues1158]

I kinda went for the Durga.

[@TheFluteboy1]

By the way, greetings from Naples, Florida!

[@TheFluteboy1]

Hi Again, Being primarily a clarinetist, may I ask how do you like Miami? Is there enough playing venues for you? Best Wishes, Richard

[@shamimbeyzaee8619]

You sound like brecker on jody jazz. Keep it for sure. I checked to buy one for myself but the price is too high for me. Thanks for video

[@Kostuj1988]

Jody Jazz DV - 01:30 Theo Wanne Durga 3 - 04:18

[@javierquesada798]

this gold one sounds better than the other one in this mouthpiece no longer stand up to KENY, THE BOY is good thanks and health

[@satishkirar2096]

Nice

[@richardsteinberg7654]

You are a credit to sax players! Keep going. As per my last commune, maybe Miami from away. No aspersions. Just have fun; as well as learn. Do you teach? You may contact me

[@glen.s9860]

Hi can you tell me pls which one do you like best for you ? I find the Theo was much brighter than the Jody.

[@hornsmiami7268]

Hi Valley, the Durga works best for me. It feels comfortable and projects a warmer tone, at least for me. Its a constant work in progress.

[@user-hm7cm7rb4r]

Hola qué boquilla me recomiendas para tocar música clásica necesito urgentemente

[@hornsmiami7268]

Las boquillas son algo muy individual. Te recomiendo si es posible ir a alguna tienda donde puedas tratar varias boquillas. Generalmente una Selmer de plastico serie S.

[@dannyjang9952]

Great comparison! Which one do you prefer?

[@hornsmiami7268]

Hi Danny, I ended up with the Durga. It sounds slightly darker than the Jody and fits the type of music I play. Nevertheless they're both great mouthpieces.

[@anotsosexysaxman5914]

You said the Durga 3 was an 8 tip opening and then said it's a 0.105" opening. An 8 tip opening for TW is a 0.110" tip opening, 0.105" would be a 7*

[@echoftw]

DV is bright but sweet like syrup.. It's radiant, like warm light. Reminds me of Christmas by the fire, everything's just right. The Durga is a little more textured, kinda like a cake. It's just a hint raspy or whispery. It's spooky and haunting. Kinda like Halloween. At first I liked the Theo more, but the more I listen it's the Jody hands down for me. There's something special about the tone that makes it simultaneously warm and bright. There's a tenderness in the sound. the Theo is close and a damn good piece, but the sound is a little plainer in my opinion. Just go between 1:31 and 4:17 and you hear it.

[@hornsmiami7268]

I love your description. Thanks for you enlightenment! 😆

[@richardsteinberg7654]

I am a clarinetist and getting my Bari stuff together. Like to commune! I we might be moving to Miami area. I have played in various music settings. Best Wishes, Richard I have communicated with you a while back; but have been busy with other things as well. Hope to connect!

[@TheFluteboy1]

Hi from Naples! Do you teach your approach to playing? Richard

[@hornsmiami7268]

Hi Richard, hope you're doing well. I do use theory as a guide to develop my language. It helps me makes sense of what I want to acomplish in this never ending harmonic journey.

[@TheFluteboy1]

What are your thoughts about teaching in light of this health crisis? Richard

[@jaycart5105]

TW definitely sound a little brighter and seem to be fuller than JJ.

[@hornsmiami7268]

I think so too

[@riyanthow]

How about Durga 4?

[@hornsmiami7268]

Hi, haven't tried that one yet. If you do, let me know how it goes.

[@TheFluteboy1]

Hi Miami brother, You are a “Sax Player”! Hope all things are good. Richard

[@hornsmiami7268]

Helo Richard!, Im doing well and you? Trying to practice as much as I can.

[@TheFluteboy1]

Can I text you? Richard

[@TheFluteboy1]

Maybe if we both feel good about near future, we can communicate via email. I might be interested in getting some playing points! Best Regards, Richard; aka Naples Brother

Durda sorry for Jody espina

[@richardsteinberg7654]

We are moving to Miami. Are you interested in chatting with me on a musical exchange? Just a thought Would enjoy it! Like your presentation on Jody and Theo Wanne Pieces. Do you play gigs? Well maybe we’ll connect. Best Wishes, Richard

[@javierquesada798]

hear that sound reminds me of KENNY G playing the tenor or is he imitating it? garcias y salud

[@JunkMailBoxStuff]

No. I hear more *Boney James* in there - smooth, subtones, warmth with a shadow of brightness when needed in a musical fashion.

Did you study with Gary Campbell?

Hello, yes I did. FIU. Miami. Regards

@@davekana8388 That's so nice. What a small world. Gary is an amazing guy, educator and sax player.

[@johnnylighting11]

durga for the win. jody who? lol. dont get too hung up on the dark and bright, quick adjustment on the mixer and you got dark or bright.

[@jsaxx1]

Great sax skills 💪🏾🙏🏽. But only thing next time let's see that it is the actual mouthpiece while your playing it for head and the mouthpiece is cut off your advertising the mouthpiece so we would like to see that lol 😆. But still your a killer saxophonist 💪🏾🙏🏽

[@hornsmiami7268]

Thanks JSaxx. Youre right. Thanks for the feedback

[@forclients5988]

The Durga is darker.
