Staff Review

I'll start by saying that I'm a big fan of these ligatures. I've owned the one I use on Alto for well over ten years! Compared to a lot of other ligatures I've tried, this is one I find wins people over more often than not in an A/B playtest. The minimalist way in which it holds the reed to the mouthpiece allows for a very free-blowing response, with the reed able to vibrate to its full potential. Great if you're going for a big, full sound! - Oren Gurney (oren@sax.co.uk)
