An Accessory for Fine Tuning
The pressure plate is the piece that presses on the reed at the ligature: by modifying how pressure is applied to the fibers, it influences vibration, articulation, and the feeling of ease. This set allows you to quickly switch from one sound character to another without changing the reed.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Suitable for saxophonists from beginner to professional level seeking a simple and effective adjustment. Depending on the plate chosen, you can aim for a more classical centered sound, a more projected jazz playing, or a freer sensation for variety and contemporary styles.
Sound and Design
Plate 1 : rich sound, more color and projection, with marked ease in articulation, especially in staccato. Plate 2 : more compact and centered sound, smooth tonal texture, and facilitated emission. Plate 3 : freer reed, great ease of expression, and immediate adaptation to your attack.
