The Vandoren Optimum V16 Tenor Saxophone Ligature & Plastic Cap offers superb performance and reliability. Precise and rapid tightening is allowed by a unique double-track screw mechanism which tightens both sides of the ligature equally.
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.
- Adjusts easily on the mouthpiece
- The reed remains exactly in place
- Neither the reed nor ligature are compressed at the sides. Easily adjusts for any situation.
