EASTROCK Alto Saxophone Ligature, Leather Ligature Fastener for Saxophone Mouthpiece, Musical Instruments Accessory for Beginner and Student

Nicely made. Sounds great.

My daughter started school band and she is playing saxophone. Mine was having the metal part, but the school suggested we buy this one ad it is apparently more easy to use. After 2 weeks my daughter brought it back home asking to use tge metal one instead. Apparently this one is not really good compare to the good old metal one.

This fit very well on a few different standard student mouthpieces that I tested it out on. The design holds the reed securely and evenly for optimal playing. I like the one-handed adjustment, and that it fit right out of the box--some other similar designs needed a day or two to stretch out a bit before they fit well.If I had to do it over again, I would have spent the extra $2 for the mouthpiece cap, which I didn't even notice was an option when I picked this up. I always try to make sure my students use a mouthpiece cap whenever they are not actively playing their instrument, whether it is at class or at a concert or game. Because of standard student mouthpiece cap wouldn't fit this, I will have to cut one a little bit wider to make it work. You can learn from my mistake and get the one with the cap!

This Alto Saxophone ligature is used to fasten a reed to a mouthpiece. The soft material (leather vs. metal) allows it to be easily tightened, and helps it fit onto a range of different alto sax mouthpieces.I tried this Eastrock ligature out on multiple mouthpieces, including a "standard" shaped and sized mouthpiece as well as a vintage mouthpiece with an especially narrow diameter -- one that not every ligature will successfully fit. The Eastrock fit them all perfectly.The ligature can be positioned with the tightening screw aimed either up or down, and may help produce different sounds when changed from one position to the other.Just for fun, I tried fitting it onto my tenor saxophone mouthpiece. It didn't fit, but came very close to doing so. Overalll, this is a very flexible ligature (sorry for the pun). If you have multiple mouthpieces in different sizes, this could be very useful. Recommended.

It's not the greatest. Not a difference from the crappy one that broke. But it does work. Ended up getting a better one but this will be the one we return the rental with. Good back up, I guess.

Exactly what I needed! Perfect fit. Great quality. Even came in a cute little storage box that I'll repurpose for office supplies.

I’ve been experimenting with a lot of mouthpieces lately so it was good to get another ligature and cap set so I wouldn’t have to keep swapping back and forth.These fit a standard hard rubber/plastic mouthpiece quite well.I’m using this with my SYOS now, but fits equally well with my Meyer and Selmer pieces.

This product seems like real leather, the rubber brace at the bottom has great friction, and the screw feels nice and smooth. The screw is even long enough to accommodate most sizes. While I do prefer these leather ligatures to the stock metal ones, you can have the problem I did that the leather wont tension all the way, and basically stretches. I imagine with use this will decrease, but I almost wish it were pre shrunk.The only reason I took off a star is because the plastic cap was too large with a really long cut out. The point is to protect the tip of the mouthpiece and the reed, if you leave it on. This one slides on so far, it bottoms out before hitting the ligature that it is supposed to rest upon.Worth a try, but make sure yours fits!
