Figured this deserved its own thread for more visibility. New model of mouthpiece from Jody:

Introducing the DV HR Alto, the first hard rubber mouthpiece to feature the patented DV design. When Jody Espina first applied the Golden Mean (Phi) proportions to the design of the DV series mouthpieces, he created one of the most sought-after mouthpieces in the world. Now for the first time, those magical proportions are available in a hard rubber mouthpiece. The DV HR is very free blowing, with all the power you will ever need, along with that big bottom for which the DVs are famous.
This mouthpiece does not come with a ligature or a cap. Your current ligature (if you have a hard rubber mouthpiece) should fit, but for upgrades on the ligature, you can look here at our POWER RING Ligatures. The POWER RING AS1 – Gold and AS1S – Silver models are made specifically for the DV HR Alto mouthpiece.
Available Tip Openings: 5 (.072), 6 (.078), 7 (.083), 8 (.090)"

Looks pretty good! Could be a great alternative to paying the cost of the DV which has gone up tremendously and this is closer to the original price of the DV lol.
Wonder if there will be a Tenor/Bari/Sop HR DV?
