Other than the instrument itself, it is the ligature and the reed that have the greatest influence on the sound and response of the instrument. Each ligature is adapted to the particular type of mouthpiece and guarantees optimum fit of the reed. Due to the ingenious mechanism (left / right thread of the spindle), a symmetrical pulling force is applied to the reed during tensioning, so that this remains in the set position. A printed cross-hair on the belt facilitates the setting up of the reed.
