" Jean-Luc Vignaud has created a revolutionary ligature. Something that really does make the difference.
The only ligature in the world capable of giving the freedom to choose where you want to hold your reed.This make it possible to really change the response of the reed no matter if cane or synthetic.
The intrusion of the ligature over the reed is always minimised thanks to 4 little points of contact and it makes it look like a little spider.
I couldn’t go back right now.
The difference with any other ligature is so big that I wouldn’t be able to have the same feelings while playing without my “ little spider " Read more

" I use the JLV Ligature since it came out.. I was immediately fascinated by the quality of sound that I got with the JLV Ligature, incomparable with the other ligatures, and not happy to have a better sound, I feel more serene with my reeds (completed the leaks of air on the edges of the reed !). The soprano I dreaded a little bit becomes a lot more fun and "comfortable" to play. Even my 7-year-old son has put himself on it, (curved soprano), and he makes the difference with the classic ligature! For my part, I hear a better roundness in his sound, and more ease to play, which frankly is not a luxury when you start ... The pleasure of playing ! " Read more

" In music, when you are a beginner, you need a teacher, willingness, patience and good material. At least the "easy" material that does not add a difficulty to that of mobilizing all available neurons to try to align two notes. The JLV ligature has, in a way, saved the music.
Not that I think I'm a saxophonist that I'm not ... but the day I put this ligature, I felt like a breath of lightness in my mouthpiece... and this breath, it was mine! It remained for me to focus not on my lips, but on my fingers and there is a different story... " Read more

" When performing and choosing my ligature one of the most important elements for me is having a ligature I trust, that gives my reed a metal to vibrate to (to center my sound), without harming my beloved and expensive mouthpiece. I have tried such a huge variety of ligatures, and have finally found one of my favorites! It is goldplated, metal, with protection on the sides to support my mouthpiece and a beautiful touch – on the side/screw a purple Rhinestone (I choose the color myself). You need to be observant of the placing of the ligature, however, as soon as you find your rhythm there’s only enjoyment left. The sound is warm, and the ligature gives more opportunities to vary the sound when changing the amount of tightening of the screw. All in all, I am very satisfied with my JLV ligature so far, and am looking forward to the continuing journey with this product of quality. A perfect match - a gold-plated ligature for my gold-plated saxophone - just what I have been missing! - Aina Helgeland Davidsen, Classical Saxophonist. " Read more
