Purchased new in October 2025. Phonic Ring for B♭ Clarinet Bell Used only a few times, with no scratches or warping. It seems to soften and mellow the sound, possibly due to increased overtones. I'm no longer using it, so I'm offering it for sale. The following is a quote from the product description: JLV, which brought a new wind to the ligature world with its innovative design, has now released a new product. After years of research into how materials resonate, the "Phonic Ring" has finally been completed. It prevents vibrations from being lost at the joint and brings out the full potential of the instrument. Please try it and experience the unprecedented playing feel, expansive sound, and rich resonance.
