Fernando RAMOS Ambassador JLV Ligature for saxophone

Professional saxophonist

 

This is a whole lot more than just a splendid-looking ligature. 
It is a real game changer. 
One can only feel it’s true potential after playing a few minutes with it. 
The comfort, clarity, rich full sound, ease of articulation, tuning are unbelievable. 
The list goes on and on, …and on!
Never again will the ligature world be the same again. It has become so much a part of my instrument that I can’t imagine playing without it - on all instruments. 
Makes me wonder how the musical world got by before Jean-Luc’s amazing concept. I dare you to play just one note on your sax with it…
