Ultimately the ultimate ligature.

This ligature is simply incredible!! The main idea behind this is that there are four cylinder's that are connected by two small wire-like strips of metal. The cylinders are the only thing that actually come in contact with the mouthpiece. This allows more vibration in the mouthpiece, by not holding the mouthpiece in one specific position. The more vibration that one creates, the more pure the sound. I have used this ligature on my otto link mouthpiece for a long time now, and I have loved every second of it. Sometimes for classical music, a sound that is not as bright is required, or preferred. In that case, I used a ligature that grips the mouthpiece a little more, which creates a darker sound which is more fitting to that style of music. Even with this ligature, it is very possible to alter ones sound to the extent of their liking, by changing reeds, mouthpieces, or the horn, but primarily the reed. I give This ligature 5 stars and would highly recommend this.
