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.
