You will notice added volume, greater presence, and a rounder and greater depth of sound. Your instrument and mouthpiece sound qualities are therefore amplified. The conception of The Marc Jean Ligature creates a significant amplification of the undulatory movement, bringing out the qualities of the instruments and its mouthpiece, resulting in: A quicker, even immediate response A more open, clean and very centered tone A clearer, deeper and stronger sound, and more stable notes all along the scales A general improvement of the playing.

The sound quality improvement generated by this redesign reversed ligature is surprising.
