JodyJazz HR* Hard Rubber Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

The JodyJazz HR* (pronounced "HR Star") is one of the best-selling hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpieces in the world — trusted by students, working musicians, and professionals alike. Built on JodyJazz founder Jody Espina's commitment to uncompromising quality, the HR* delivers the warm, round tone and free-blowing feel of a vintage hard rubber mouthpiece — hand-finished to perfection on a state-of-the-art 5-axis CNC machine.

Three tip openings available:

• 5M (.072") — Tighter tip for easy control; great for classical, concert band, and players seeking a focused, centered tone with excellent projection.
• 6M (.078") — The most popular HR* size. A medium tip opening that balances ease of playability with flexibility — equally at home in jazz band, concert band, and solo settings.
• 7M (.083") — A slightly more open tip offering more flexibility and expressive range. Ideal for jazz, R&B, and players who want a warmer, more responsive feel at higher dynamics.

Key Features:

• Genuine authentic hard rubber — the look, feel, and sound of vintage hard rubber mouthpieces
• Round chamber design for a warm, full sound with excellent projection
• Free-blowing feel from the lowest Bb to the highest altissimo
• 5-axis CNC machined, then hand-finished and play-tested by JodyJazz staff
• Does not include ligature or cap — your standard alto hard rubber ligature will fit
• Made in the USA

Note: JodyJazz POWER RING and H-Ligatures are available separately and are designed specifically for HR* mouthpieces.
