Unsurpassed performance and reliability

• Precise and rapid tightening; a unique double-track screw mechanism tightens both sides of the ligature equally.
• Vertical and symmetrical tightening:
  • - Adjusts easily on the mouthpiece
  • - The reed remains exactly in place
• Neither reed nor ligature are compressed at the sides.

Easily adjusts for any situation
3 interchangeable pressure plates adjust to the sound, style, and musical piece you're performing.
