Slide Signature Ligature
A Gentle Securing Force That Draws Out the Reed's Natural Resonance
Securing the reed to the mouthpiece with a gentle force maximizes its vibration, producing a rich, full resonance. While standard ligatures require a certain degree of tightening to prevent the reed from slipping, the rail-style ligature can hold the reed firmly in place with only the lightest touch. This draws out the absolute maximum of the reed's inherent, overtone-rich resonance, enabling a highly expressive performance.

【Important Notice Regarding SV950 Products】
Because SV950 products utilize high-purity silver, extremely small pinholes may occasionally occur during the manufacturing process. These are inherent to the properties of the material itself. While we strive to minimize their occurrence as much as possible, they can be difficult to eliminate entirely.
We maintain the highest standards of quality control, and only products that have passed our rigorous inspection criteria are delivered to our customers. Please be assured that even if minute pinholes are visible on your product, they do not affect the safety or the overall quality of the ligature. We kindly ask for your understanding of these unique characteristics of SV950 products.
