I'm sure someone has asked this before; what type/brand of ligature does Joe Lovano use on his HR tenor mouthpiece? It looks like sometype of band and if so what holds it together (velcro)? I'm pretty sure it's not string, but there are no visible metal bands or screws. As much as things are discussed on this forum I'm surprised I haven't run across this subject before. He's used this ligature for years now and I have never seen it marketed or advertised.

It's a Selmer "Magnitone" adjustable ligature. They often pop up on eBay.

Does Selmer still make them?

Turtle, thanx for your reply! I guess if they are only on ebay that answers my question.

Thanx! You are absolutely right, it's a custom made Francois Louis.
