A Nod to a Great "Vintage" Ligature
Designed as a modern interpretation of a classic, the Rico H revisits the idea of a ligature with controlled tightening, intended to optimize the contact between the reed (the vibrating blade) and the mouthpiece (the embouchure). This "retro" approach aims to recapture familiar playing sensations while offering simple adjustment thanks to its two screws.
For Which Musician and Usage?
This ligature is aimed at musicians seeking reliable support and fine tuning, from intermediate to advanced levels. It is particularly suitable for contexts where stable sound production and good homogeneity are expected, in both classical and jazz settings, depending on the mouthpiece and reed used.
Sound and Design
A ligature influences the reed's vibration by modulating pressure and freedom of movement. The Rico H's four-point system aims for a more consistent response and a feeling of control, while the inverted design and two screws facilitate adjustment. The included mouthpiece cap (protective cover) safeguards the mouthpiece between playing sessions.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve performance, use a swab suitable for your instrument and store the mouthpiece with its mouthpiece cap after use.
