Expensive Waste of Money

Stephen148 27.04.2015

This is the most expensive ligature I have ever bought, and I feel like I have been taught an import lesson. Namely: just because something costs lot, it isn't necessarily value for money.

I bought the tenor saxophone model for all types of mouthpiece materials, and used it with a hand-made RPC hard rubber mouthpiece. I have tried it with a variety of reeds: Vandoren Blue; Vandoren Jazz, Rico Jazz Select 2S and 2M and Vandoren Green.

In each case, the sound is light (airy) and unsubstantial. It appears to lack depth a weight and can get very squeaky and "duck-like" in the upper octaves.

It's also very inconsistent. I frequently have to take off the ligature and re-adjust the reed position on the mouthpiece before I can get clear sound at all.

I followed the instructions and kept the ligature tightened on the mouthpiece overnight and it still made no real difference.

I have gone back to using the basic Rovner cloth ligature that I was hoping to improve on with this one - and find the sound altogether more satisfying and consistent.

Not recommended.

Pas la moins chère mais la plus belle !

Achetée pour son coté esthétique d'abord, cette ligature (en plus d'être un bel objet très bien fini) s'avère être efficace. Placement facile de l'anche, serrage homogène. Il me semble avoir gagné un peu dans la qualité des attaques.
