Why do I feel like I’m playing with less effort when using the JLV ligature?


The JLV ligature allows the reed to vibrate along its entire length without being compressed.

This freedom of vibration makes it easier to produce sound, reduces resistance, and makes playing feel more natural.

The result: less effort for a more powerful, precise, and stable sound.

It is this sense of freedom that gives the impression of “playing effortlessly.”

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.
