« Freedom & Superiority »

In my opinion, the JLV ligature is the most important innovation in the saxophone world.
It surpasses everything I have played in terms of intonation, projection, and consistency, offering me an unprecedented freedom of musical expression.

HIS SAXOPHONE EQUIPMENT

The JLV ligature is, in my opinion, the most important innovation in the saxophone world.

It is superior to anything I have played in terms of intonation, projection, and consistency.

I believe the JLV ligatures give me more freedom to express myself musically than ever before.

Thank you, JLV!
