JodyJazz, owners of Rousseau mouthpieces, has announced that all Rousseau mouthpieces will now be made, from start to finish, at the JodyJazz factory in Savannah, Georgia. The company is referring to this next stage in the history of Rousseau mouthpieces as “Rousseau 3.0.” With this transition, the company has taken the opportunity to make several significant upgrades and improvements to many of the mouthpiece models. The Classic NC and Classic R Alto models now feature new improved facing curves for all tip openings. The JDX series has been completely overhauled and redesigned with all new models. Dr. Rousseau’s innovative V Chamber design, which he used previously only on the JDX Baritone, is now used also for the JDX Alto and Tenor and the new JDX Soprano models. The tip opening numbers of the JDX series also now align with popular jazz mouthpieces. Finally, all the new Rousseau 3.0 mouthpieces feature a significantly upgraded overall look and appearance with a new elegant matte finish with a deep, rich luster and fully engraved logos finished with gold paint. There will be no price increase on the Rousseau 3.0 models despite all the additional handwork.
