A Ligature Designed for Clear and Repeatable Adjustment
Thanks to its symmetrical and vertical tightening, this ligature facilitates adjustment on the mouthpiece and helps quickly achieve consistent placement. The pressure plates (parts in contact with the reed) allow variation of the pressure to adapt the reed's behavior to your playing.
For Which Musician and Use?
This ligature is intended for clarinetists or saxophonists (depending on the version compatible with your mouthpiece) seeking reliable tightening, quick adjustments, and a freer playing sensation. It is suitable for classical, jazz, pop, or ensemble music whenever a consistent response and effortless setup are desired.
Sound and Design
The vertical tightening principle promotes a more consistent vibration by preventing the reed from shifting sideways during tightening. The adjustable contact via the 3 pressure plates allows tailoring the feel: more direct attack, softer resistance, or a balance between the two, depending on the setup and reed used.
