Silverstein Works Quattro Series Ligature for Soprano Sax in Silver Plate (Generation 5)

Fits most standard sized hard rubber soprano sax mouthpieces. The Quattro is Silverstein's answer to players who want a quality ligature at a lower price than their traditional models.

• THE MOST AFFORDABLE : For artists with budget in mind, Silverstein made this A-Frame ligature which has similar performance with other Silverstein A-Frame ligatures. It provides even more free reed vibration with reduced number of cords.This is an essential choice for students and amature woodwind musicians.
• HARMONIC PARTIALS : The first thing you will notice is how free the reed becomes. The difference can also be seen in laboratory comparison tests that clearly show the much more defined harmonic partials of the Ligature, indicating a richer, fuller sound.
• THE INNOVATION: FINE TUNER : The new Fine Tuners change how the ligature responds to the vibrations of the reed, tuning the focus and color of your sound to give you unprecedented control and flexibility. With it, you can adjust your sound to perfectly accentuate the music you play at any time.
• HANDCRAFTED AGLETS : Beautifully matched to main body, these metal aglets prevent potential dislocation and deformation of the cord.
• SOUND ADJUSTMENT NUT : The nut adjusts tension on the cord. By tightening less, the sound gets darker and a reed vibrates more. It also compensates thickness of a reed. If a reed is too thin, tightening more makes the reed sound like a thicker reed - and vise versa.
• THE 2ND EVOLUTION: DOTTED CORD : Interspersed cord with a refined strand – a thinner thread for even less contact and pressure with the reed while maintaining the Ligature’s trademark design and grip. This makes all the difference for greater control, a more dynamic sound, and a richer tone.
• OMNICAP : Comes with an OmniCap that is small enough to fit in a narrow case, secures and protects delicate mouthpiece tip and reed, protects mouthpiece rail, preserves reed moisture, is easily washable and makes no sound when dropped.
