Professional saxophonist

 

" The JLV Ligature is the most important innovation in the saxophone world as I see it. It's superior to anything else I've played when it comes to intonation, projection and evenness. I feel the JLV Ligatures give me more freedom to express myself musically than before. Thanks Jean-Luc Vignaud
