A Ligature Inspired by German Schools, Revisited by SELMER
The Fibra captures the spirit of traditional wire ligatures, combining it with modern materials and contemporary mechanics. It is part of Henri SELMER Paris's acoustic research, featuring meticulous craftsmanship where each ligature is braided, adjusted, and individually inspected.
For Which Musicians and Playing Contexts
Designed for clarinetists and saxophonists seeking a sharper attack and an immediately balanced register, the Fibra is suitable for both studio work and stage performance, spanning classical, jazz, and contemporary music.
Sound and Design
Thanks to the flexible cord that distributes pressure evenly, the ligature promotes easy emission, especially in the low register, while enhancing the clarity of staccato. The uniform tightening helps maintain a centered timbre and good flexibility, without any sensation of reed crushing.
