Mouthpieces by Jody Espina

Jody Jazz

The DV series is the most versatile and rich-sounding mouthpiece I have ever played. It allows me to have a bright and projecting sound that also incorporates darker elements when I need it to.

Saxophone reeds

D'Addario Woodwinds

I play the Select Jazz Unfiled 4M reeds on all my horns, and I love the response and stability they provide. 

Music notation software

Dorico

Dorico is the only music notation software that allows me to fully focus on the music. The user interface is easy to understand, and the layout looks stunning and readable from the start.
