The Vandoren Cuir Soprano Sax Ligature is a genuine leather ligature to hold your reed to your instrument's mouthpiece. As a leather ligature, the sound produced is more rounded and warm than the brighter tone of metal ligatures. The unique and innovative double-track screw mechanism provides a quick and symmetrical tightening for your reed. The handcrafted finish of the ligature feels very high quality and the premium feel is finished off with the plastic cap. Included with your ligature are three pressure plates to enable you to modify your sound to your own preference.
