The Vandoren Optimum Alto Saxophone Ligature offers superb performance and reliability. The Optimum's unique double-track screw mechanism tightens both sides of the ligature equally and allows you to precisely and rapidly tighten it. With the Vandoren Ligature, neither the reed or ligature are compressed at the sides.
The Vandoren Optimum Ligature has 3 interchangeable pressure plates that help adjust the sound and style to the musical piece you're performing. The collar around the mouthpiece remains independent of the area in contact with the reed, allowing the vibrations of the reed to develop without interference. With Vandoren's Optimum Ligature, you'll find that your reeds will perform more to your expectations.
Comes with a black plastic cap.

- Plate n°1: a rich, colorful sonority which produces great resonance. Pressure along the fiber of the reed facilitates an unbelievable blowing ease. Incredible ease of articulation
- Plate n°2: a more compact, centered sonority smooth even sound extraordinary blowing ease
- Plate n°3: the reed vibrates in total freedom, producing a very flexible sound greater ease of expression
