Makoto HONDO
JLV AMBASSADOR
« Richness & Ease »
With the JLV ligature, the richness of harmonics and the purity of sound are always present, but the first surprise remains the ease of emission in all registers and at all dynamics.
On a large instrument like the baritone saxophone, often prone to a blurred sound, it compensates for this weakness.
The savior of baritone saxophonists!
