        i’m amazed at how much softly you can make a guardala sound using a plate made out of a reed instead of using a plate made out of metal in the ligature that holds down the reed.

        you can hear how soft the sax is from 0:27 at the end of softly section, it gradually gets louder in the music sheet. I couldn’t get that soft gentle sound with a metal plate, the overall pitch sounds more wooden even in the loud sections of the sheet

          sxpoet – I used the versa lig for tenor for some time. It was a good ligature. Was amazed at the sound you got by putting a piece of reed in yours. I now have been playing the Vandoren Optimum Ligature for sometime. Now with Pete’s review on the Marc Jean 2 – I might have to try one in the future.

            soft wood absorbs sound, a harder wood would brighten it up a bit, wood flutes are highly respected. a soft relaxing sound emanates

                I bought mine from a guy here in UK this is the website for Mark Jean==www.musiquedemarc.com
                you can email him from the site. What a great person to deal with, I had problem
                with the older MK1 ligature and he emailed me and arranged for the new MK2 one
                to be sent to me from this guy in Wales who I buy sax stuff from now and again.
                Ask him in your email the nearest agent for these Ligatures, mine is the Artistry
                brass “U” model, obviously tell him what mouthpiece it is for, he is only a small
                company and he very conscientious guy, by the way Wiliam he is based in Canada.

                  Pete, I located a music store in Windsor Colorado, USA. He doesn’t have any MK2’s in stock but he expects to get some soon. He has my telephone number and email address. His email is http://www.saxalley.com/about-us

                    Please go on Marc Jean web site and have a read, you will get an idea which ligature will
                    suit the sound you want.
