Incredible! This in one word sums up what we think about this new ligature. Made in Spain, the new Fortissimo ligature (or as they call, "Padded Tension Ring") is a ligature that allows for the most possible vibration from your reed & mouthpiece. By limiting the actual contact by the ligature on your mouthpiece & reed, this ligature frees up the vibration potential of the your setup. When we tested it for the first time, we used a Florida Otto Link Metal Alto mouthpiece on a Selmer Reference 54 Alto Sax. The reed used was basically a dead reed by all standards. With a standard ligature, the reed had definitely outlived its usefulness. However, when we used the exact same setup with the same reed and the new Fortissimo ligature, we were blown away by the difference. It felt like we had just put on a brand new reed. The whole setup was much more free and vibrant. Absolutely Awesome. Each Fortissimo Ligature comes with 3 different reed plates that easily come on and off of the ligature.
Fortissimo ligatures are available in 2 sizes and 3 colors. Small (clarinet, soprano & metal sax mouthpieces) & Large (hard rubber sax and bass clarinet mouthpieces). Available in gold, silver or black.
Mouthpiece caps to fit the Fortissimo Ligature are $5.40 (Retail: $6.75)
