" I use the JLV Ligature on my two main instruments : the baritone saxophone and the soprano saxophone. And I'm a huge fan...
This ligature is lightweight and allows an excellent vibration of the reed.
On the baritone, the JLV Ligature has this particularity of allowing an optimal contact with the blunt of the reed on the table of the mouthpiece. It ensures a maximum longevity of the reeds as well as an excellent vibration quality.
Congratulations ! Long live the JLV Ligatures ! " Read more
