Comes with black plastic cap (not shown) Vandoren Optimum ligatures offer superb performance and reliability. A unique double-track screw mechanism tightens both sides of the ligature equally and allows for precise and rapid tightening. Neither reed nor ligature are compressed at the sides.
Adjusts easily on the mouthpiece
The reed remains exactly in place
3 interchangeable pressure plates adjust to the sound, style, and musical piece you're performing. The collar around the mouthpiece remains independent of the area in contact with the reed, allowing the vibrations of the reed to develop without interference. With Vandoren's Optimum Ligature, you'll find that more and more reeds perform to your expectations.
