Mouthpieces Jody Jazz superjet paladium - safe? Potentially toxic?

[kelk]

Kia ora everyone.

I have noticed a question about this before, but i wanted to know more as it didn't go deep as my curiosities were...

Jody Jazz SuperJet (alto) has Palladium in the composition.

I am so close to purchasing one BUT this is handbraking me..i need help thanks

I have read that it is toxic..yet also wondering why a great player like Jody would add an element in the composition that could be harmful.


Please can someone who understands the process explain of it is harmless and why OR if it is likely to be harmful as the mouthpiece is worn in.

Only looking for evidential based replies thanks as there is a lot of hearsay on the internet and i usually fall for at least some of it haha.

Thanks again sax family of the world
