JLV AMBASSADOR

« Homogeneity & Precision »

I play the JLV ligature on all my saxophones and clarinets, as it fulfills my quest for homogeneity and constant precision across all registers and dynamics.
After numerous conclusive trials, it is clear that, according to my aesthetic choices, this ligature surpasses everything I had before.

HIS CLARINET & SAXOPHONE EQUIPMENT

I play the JLV ligature on all my saxophones and clarinets, and it is neither by chance nor by snobbery.
Whatever the instrument, I seek homogeneity and constant precision every day across all registers and dynamics.
