Vandoren Leather Ligature and Plastic Cap for V16 Baritone Sax LC290P

Made of high quality genuine leather, carefully and skillfully sewn in the hand-crafted tradition, to work in complete harmony with the reed and mouthpiece. Leather, a living material, gives an ideal combination of rigidity and flexibility. Its elasticity absorbs the higher harmonics which often cause a sound to be "bright" or "harsh". It also comes into contact with a larger surface area of the mouthpiece, creating a more focused, compact sound. The leather ligature is supplied with a wooden support in order to help it maintain its shape when not in use. Genuine leather - handcrafted finish. Quick and symmetrical tightening with a unique double-track screw mechanism. 3 interchangeable pressure plates to adjust the sound. Round and warm sound Includes plastic cap.
