JodyJazz GIANT Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece

What Is the GIANT Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece?

The GIANT series introduces a new concept in saxophone mouthpiece design that they call “Stealth Metal” combining the outside shape and look of a hard rubber mouthpiece with the precision of Aerospace Grade Hard Anodized Aluminum.

The GIANT has a dark, big saxophone sound but with strong projection and cut. The JodyJazz GIANT is excellent for Jazz, Straight Ahead, Bebop, Big Band, even Rock, Funk, and Blues. Due to its versatility, it can blend nicely with a concert band or saxophone quartet.

Big • Complex • Timeless

The GIANT is a great saxophone mouthpiece that seems to appeal to a very broad variety of players.

Made on their five-axis CNC mill in their factory in Savannah. The Aerospace Grade Hard Anodized Aluminum provides the perfect tone and the ability to manufacture with extremely high tolerances.

Four Goals in Creating the JodyJazz GIANT Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece

  1. To capture the very best of our popular HR* hard rubber line of mouthpieces and then through 3D modeling take it to the next level.

  2. To create a tenor sax mouthpiece that is both warm and dark but with has a huge sound at the same time.

  3. To make a metal mouthpiece with the same cutting edge technology as our DV sax mouthpieces, but costs less to produce since we don’t 24kt Gold Plate the Hard Anodized Aluminum.

  4. To demand and achieve the most rigorous QUALITY CONTROL possible. Each mouthpiece is individually play tested by Jody Espina or one of their professional saxophonists on staff to insure a perfect seal with the reed and proper response throughout the range of the saxophone.

A Giant Step for Your Sound

  1. not loud, BIG

    The GIANT has a large chamber and a large sound. This tenor saxophone mouthpiece is somewhat unique in the fact that normally to get a lot of projection you have to have a smaller chamber, which gives you a brighter more cutting sound. And when a mouthpiece has a larger chamber the sound becomes warmer but the projection goes way down. Another way to say that is that large chamber saxophone mouthpieces are typically quieter. But the GIANT has a large chamber and huge warm sound due to the following unique factors that make up the GIANT: Material – Anodized Aluminum, Facing Curve – this is a brand new facing curve that allows maximum reed vibration, Baffle – this is the material inside the mouthpiece right next to the tip rail (extremely important for projection), Chamber Shape – The GIANT has its own unique chamber shape which is allowing warmth with projection.

  2. not focused, COMPLEX

    The GIANT produces a sound that has a core and more. There are many aspects to a saxophone sound and when they say a mouthpiece has a focused sound they mean that you hear more core to the sound than anything. The chamber and material combination of the GIANT are allowing it to create a sound that can be shaped by the player and ultimately have many interesting and complex aspects to the sound creating unique beauty to your saxophone sound.

  3. not vintage, TIMELESS

    There are so many Jazz saxophone mouthpieces on the market today that are simply trying to recreate mouthpieces of the past. When making the GIANT they did not have this goal in mind although they think that those players wishing to evoke the sound of Classic Jazz mouthpieces should look at the GIANT. But rather they were trying to move into the future using state of the art manufacturing techniques, new material and new ideas to create a new Classic Jazz Sound.

  4. Stealth Metal

    The GIANT has the outside shape and look of a hard rubber mouthpiece but the Anodized Aluminum material gives it the precision of a metal mouthpiece. CNC machined to exact tolerances. The large chamber is expertly hand finished to produce an extraordinarily full sound.
