Korpa 
Made of high quality genuine leather, carefully and skillfully sewn in the hand-crafted tradition, to work in complete harmony with the reed and mouthpiece. Leather, a living material, gives an ideal combination of rigidity and flexibility. Its elasticity absorbs the higher harmonics which often cause a sound to be “bright” or “harsh”. It also comes into contact with a larger surface area of the mouthpiece, creating a more focused, compact sound. The single screw on top of the ligature, in silver-plated bronze for clarinet or gold-gilded for saxophone, tightens the ligature evenly and precisely.
