Vandoren Optimum Tenor Sax Gold Finish Ligature (Old Stock )
Precise and rapid tightening; a unique double-track screw mechanism tightens both sides of the ligature equally.
- Vertical and symmetrical tightening:
- Adjusts easily on the mouthpiece
- The reed remains exactly in place
Whether you're playing classical or jazz, the Optimum Ligature comes with three pressure plates to accommodate your style.
Plate 1: A rich, colorful sonority that produces great resonance. Pressure along the fiber of the reed facilitates an unbelievable blowing ease. Incredible ease of articulation.
Plate 2 : A more compact, centered sonority. Similar to the Vandoren MO ligature. A smooth even sound with extraordinary blowing ease.
Plate 3 : The reed vibrates in total freedom due to only being held by 4 small contact points. A very flexible sound with greater ease of expression.
