// Vanodren Leather Ligatrure with Plastic Cap // Made from high-quality genuine leather, they are meticulously and expertly hand-sewn in accordance with the traditional handmade process to ensure perfect harmony between the reed and mouthpiece. Leather is a living material, so it has the ideal combination of rigidity and flexibility. Its elasticity absorbs harmonics that often cause a sound to sound "bright" or "harsh." Additionally, it contacts a wider area of the mouthpiece surface, producing a more solid, compact sound. The single screw at the top of the ligature is silver-plated bronze on clarinets and gold-plated on saxophones, and tightens the ligature evenly and precisely. Leather ligatures come with a special wooden mold that helps maintain the shape of the ligature. *Since it is made of genuine leather, the reed may not be firmly fixed in place with some mouthpieces until it becomes accustomed to the material.■Size: For soprano saxophone rubber mouthpieces ■Type: Reverse tightening ■Plastic cap included ■3 pressure plates included ■Outer box included
