Luis Maria GONZALEZ

" The JLV ligature allows my reeds to vibrate in their entirety, which gives me enormous freedom of expression. This very pleasant feeling is due in particular to control of the dynamic range, projection, emissions and articulation. Thanks to this ligature which corrects most of the imperfections of the reeds, they no longer become loose. In addition, this allows me to use a larger number of reeds and that safely. JLV beautifies you with balance "
