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.

Aina Helgeland DAVIDSEN
Professional saxophonist

" 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
