In the 3rd part of our series, A Day in the Life at the Jody Jazz Factory, Donna interviewed Danielle Walker, Manager, Accounts & Relations Artist & Manager.

Along with her other responsibilities, Danielle is the main mouthpiece play-tester at Jody Jazz.

She could be testing up to 300 mouthpieces a day!

In order to be able to do that (and not lose her mind), she follows a simple process.

Find out what that is, along with how to do the “pop” test, and more of her testing tips by listening to our latest episode.

 

 

The main theme throughout Donna’s visit to the Jody Jazz Factory is that everything is about top quality as evidenced by this quote:

We try to nail anything that is not perfect, and make it perfect, or as good as we can.

– Danielle Walker
