“In my professional work as a horn section saxophonist with John Legend and others, there is no room for error. In my 10 years of using Silverstein ligatures, they have never failed me once. I started using Silverstein’s AmbiPoly reeds in 2019 and quickly realized their value. Whether I’m playing outside or inside, it’s humid or dry, my AmbiPoly reeds always perform the same. Any product that makes executing my job easier is incredibly valuable. Thank you Silversteain Works for making such remarkable products.”
