The Vandoren LC07P Optimum golden ligature is actually far more versatile than you might first think. Firstly, this deluxe ligature offers the mouthpiece and reed of your alto saxophone outstanding protection, and secondly, it's easily installed using a dual-screw mechanism which offers optimum placement, allowing the reed the perfect amount of space to resonate and resulting in a more focussed sound. This ligature comes including three mounting plates and a plastic cap.
