  2. Go to the order summary: Once in the order summary, click on “Checkout.”

Ligature
How do I choose my JLV ligature?

The JLV ligature is available for soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones with ebonite (classical/jazz) and metal mouthpieces, as well as for Eb, Bb, and A, alto, and bass clarinets. Simply select your preferred instrument type, mouthpiece type, and finish on our product page: For Saxophones and Clarinets


Is the JLV Ligature compatible with synthetic reeds?

Yes. Synthetic reeds provide excellent stability and increase their longevity.


Can the JLV ligature be used with Otto Link mouthpieces?

The JLV ligature fits perfectly with Otto Link mouthpieces, whether made of ebonite or metal.

Thanks to the side screws, the band prevents contact with the mouthpiece, allowing the Otto Link mouthpiece to be raised without any compatibility issues.

We invite you to choose the JLV ligature based on your saxophone, the type of mouthpiece (ebonite or metal), and the finish you prefer.


Is the ligature suitable for all types of mouthpieces?

Indeed, the ligature fits ebonite mouthpieces, whether classical or jazz style, as well as metal mouthpieces. It also fits perfectly with crystal clarinet mouthpieces.

For mouthpieces requiring specific dimensions, we can make custom adjustments by customizing the size of the strap.

When ordering, you can specify the mouthpiece model and brand in the "Information to send to the seller" section.


Is the JLV ligature suitable for beginners?

The JLV ligature is suitable for both beginners and professionals. We met with teachers to ask for their opinion: they were quickly won over by this jewel, which makes it easier for their students to produce low and high notes.

Bague Phonique
What is a sound ring?

A phonic ring is a copper ring placed at the joint between the neck and the body of the saxophone.

The material of the ring has a conductive effect that creates a connection between the two parts of the instrument, preventing the sound vibration from being interrupted.

As a result, the sound becomes fuller and more generous.


Does the phonic ring have an impact on intonation?

No, the phonic ring has no impact on the instrument’s intonation. With only 0.5 mm thickness for clarinets and 1 mm for saxophones, it does not affect the tuning or accuracy of your instrument in any way.

It actually provides greater clarity and precision.


How is the phonic ring for saxophone different from a tuning ring?

There is no tuning ring for saxophone.

The tuning ring, used on clarinets, is designed to adjust the space between the mouthpiece and the barrel.

On the other hand, the phonic ring for saxophone is placed at a different level: between the neck and the body of the instrument.

Its role is to improve the transmission of vibrations to enrich the sound.


Does it fit all saxophones?

The phonic ring is compatible with alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones and is available in three sizes.

However, it is not yet suitable for sopranino, soprano, and bass saxophones.


What material is the JLV phonic ring made of?

The ring is made of copper, chosen for its excellent vibrational properties.
