JodyJazz HR* 6 Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece - Hard Rubber | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The JodyJazz HR* 6 Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece is a premium hard rubber mouthpiece designed for students and intermediate baritone players who want warm, traditional tone with dependable playability across multiple performance settings. Featuring a slightly more closed tip opening than the HR* 7, the size 6 offers a responsive, easy-blowing feel that is especially well-suited to players developing their embouchure and tone control. Available at Piano Gallery in Idaho Falls, it's one of JodyJazz's most trusted options for concert band, jazz ensemble, and marching applications.
Product Overview
Crafted from durable hard rubber, the HR* 6 delivers the rich, full-bodied tonal character that the baritone saxophone is known for, with the added consistency and longevity that hard rubber construction provides. The slightly narrower tip opening compared to the size 7 makes this mouthpiece particularly approachable for younger or developing players, offering a comfortable resistance level that supports proper technique without sacrificing sonic quality. It is a staple of the HR* series — JodyJazz's best-selling line for students and working musicians.
The HR* 6's warm, traditional tone blends naturally in concert band and jazz band settings, making it a versatile choice for players who perform across multiple genres and ensembles. Like all mouthpieces in the HR* series, it is built around JodyJazz's commitment to versatility and sonic beauty — qualities that have made the brand a go-to for players at every level. The lineup's professional artist roster, including Kirk Whalum, Tom Scott, and Andy Snitzer, reflects the depth of trust players place in JodyJazz craftsmanship.
Each HR* 6 is personally play tested by JodyJazz founder and president Jody Espina before it leaves the workshop, a standard that ensures every mouthpiece performs consistently from one unit to the next. This level of hands-on quality control is rare in the accessory market and reflects Espina's guiding philosophy: building instruments he would play himself. Piano Gallery in Idaho Falls carries the HR* 6 alongside a full selection of JodyJazz mouthpieces for in-store comparison and testing.
