The JLV ligature has a magical side that appears at the first try. This is surprising. But the surprise lasts over time! Imagine the scene. You keep the same instrument (for me a Selmer Mark VI tenor sax), the same mouthpiece (a metal Ponzol), the same reed (a Vandoren ZZ 2.5), the same musician (me). But you place the JLV ligature on your mouthpiece under the wise advice of its inventor Jean-Luc Vigneau. In other words, you are changing one of the smallest elements of your system. And hop ! Your sound changes immediately. And it?s enchanting. What made you tense becomes easy. The bass comes out with disconcerting ease, without forcing. High notes can be better controlled with precision. The entire range is under control. The harmonics vibrate in their fullness. The pianissimo lets the note escape to the limit of the breath. The vibrato can be varied in subtle nuances. Dynamic effects like forte/piano, but also tongue and throat effects, are as if amplified. Everything comes out with relief and control. Your listeners are captivated. In short, by just changing the ligature, the expressive palette broadens and becomes richer. The comfort of the game too. After several weeks of practice, it's the same impression each time: a delight, a desire to rediscover the full potential of one's instrument, a desire to better express one's musical sensitivity. A big thank you to Jean-Luc who is a true sound genius! Posted by Philippe Champy 23-11-2014 |

Everyone can judge the JLV ligature. Nowadays saxophonists have to choose between numerous accessories: ebonite mouthpieces, metal mouthpieces, open, closed, reed reeds, plastic, cords, harnesses, ligatures... The choice is difficult and between two similar products the difference is subtle. When I was a student I asked my teacher for advice. Now I follow the advice of recognized professional saxophonists who highlight their preference for this or that brand. But with the JLV ligature the difference with other ligatures is such that you can appreciate all of its qualities yourself. Beginner, experienced, or passionate expert, you will be able to form your opinion in complete independence. Try it and you will surprise yourself. Posted by Michel Davray 01-10-2014 |

Hello Jean Luc, I think that your JLV Ligature will appeal to amateurs like me, who do not have the necessary skills to try to retabulate their own reeds themselves, even if tools exist for this. The effect is immediate, even with an average quality reed. This allows the mouthpiece to be freed (which therefore no longer has need to pinch too much, to try to compensate for a sealing problem) and therefore the sound! the magic comes from the simplicity of implementation, whatever its level on the instrument.

Hello Jean Luc! Your invention is revolutionary, and simply brilliant! I'm not going to give you any more ointment! ;) But honestly, we win in every aspect!! the sound, the emission, the detachment, the attacks... In short, it's just something more on my tenor! I haven't tried the soprano yet but I don't worry! I rehearsed yesterday, and recorded, I can clearly hear the difference with before! It's obvious ! YEAH!!!! To conclude, this ligature enhances the sound, the playing... THANK YOU!!!! :o)) The Inventor is a Benefactor! Good day Nicolas Conrath Posted by KONY 01-02-2014 |

Thank you very much for this ligature, very well done, but above all very effective, over the entire range of my Tenor saxophone. Overall the emission is very noticeably easier, the bass is "less rough" and the overall sound is "fuller". I am amazed" ! Posted by Oliv? 05-01-2014 |

Being over 78 years old, I have seen several models of ligatures, each giving a small improvement. This time the difference is very big, the sound is homogeneous over the entire range of the instrument, the ease of emission is very clear, including for the harmonics. Mediocre reeds find a decent sound. Thanks to this ligature I tire much less, which at my age allows me to hope to prolong the pleasure of playing the saxophone.

It took me a little time to try your ligature, but I'm won over, I really saw a difference. Thank you for this invention which, I hope, will be followed by other instruments.

I confirm that I have received the ligature I consider that the jlv ligature is certainly the most important advance for the sax....since the creation of the sax I am an average amateur saxophonist with an average sax a student mouthpiece and from the start I obtained an incredible sound!!! both in the pianos and in the high notes in the low notes as well as the high notes!! thank you thank you m Vignaud I am in the process of convincing all my relations of the harmony where I play as well as the jazz workshop that I attend. Change your ligatures for a JLV!!! Joseph Allouche Posted by Joseph Allouche 23-12-2013 |

Hello everyone. I didn't buy a JLV ligature because I'm a pro. Actually, I'm just an amateur, but I'm also a designer. And when my sax teacher told me about this ligature which won an award in the Lepine competition, my interest was piqued, sax, design of a new product??? In terms of design, congratulations to Mr. Jean-Luc Vignaud. This ligature responds perfectly to its function, holding a reed on different mouthpiece while preventing it from vibrating at a minimum. It seems so simple and so logical when we analyze this creation, that we almost forget the work that it must have required! Especially since other problems were integrated (and resolved) in its design, retabbing, evaporation, protection... Now, in terms of sound and ease of playing, I only have one thing to say, I would almost consider myself a real saxophonist. THANKS. Posted by Patrice Galimand 12-12-2013 |

I had the best ligature there was with the Winslow which was well above the others. The JLV ligature is even better and gives breathtaking results: ease of emission, precision, homogeneity and an incredible richness of harmonics. Thank you Mr Vignaud for the increased pleasure that your invention gives. Posted by Eric Michel 17-10-2013 |

Super, superb and efficient. I encountered the same setbacks as its creator and thanks to him, finished... good stability of the reeds which tend to twist, ease of emission and controlled harmonies are the assets of this marvel. See you soon to meet. Music of the 4 winds - Libourne 33500 Posted by marco-jazz 21-07-2013 |

Thanks to you, the saxophone is in the spotlight. Your new ligature is the icing that was missing from Adolphe Sax's cake. It perfectly complements the mechanics of the saxophone. The reed vibrates to my liking, the sound is completely controlled... and with ease! Thank you Jean Luc Vignaud for sharing this superb invention with all saxophonists and also for your kindness because, what's more, he is a very nice gentleman... a real musician! :=) Posted by Enofoxas 10-07-2013 |

From Gilbert PAGNOUX Thank you poem "Don't forget your reed for a good spat before she shakes her hips Put the JLV ligature on, it?s impeccable. What a beautiful tumble of waves long live little France who will amaze the world music with complete confidence. Posted by voltige78 26-06-2013 |

This ?Arthur? league will bring together a lot of ?claxophonists?, I can feel it! I can not wait to see him. Thank you for all these years of research and improvement for this accessory (if we can still call it that!) Posted by Yoyo 18-06-2013 |

Hello, my wife and especially my dogs thank you for your ligature which protects their ears. I have been playing the clarinet for 6 months and when I played the bugle there were many protests. Today it's not perfect but it's bearable. Thanks for them. Posted by L Dob 15-06-2013 |
