Golden Ligature & Plastic Cap.

The Vandoren Optimum ligature gives the performer three interchangeable pressure plates for an option of sonority and reed vibration. You will find that more reeds will speak to your liking with this ligature. Only available in a gold gilded finish.

Precise and rapid tightening; a unique double-track screw mechanism tightens both sides of the ligature equally.
Vertical and symmetrical tightening:
- Adjusts easily on the mouthpiece
- The reed remains exactly in place
Neither reed nor ligature are compressed at the sides.
Easily adjusts for any situation
3 interchangeable pressure plates adjust to the sound, style, and musical piece you're performing.

Expression with freedom
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 more and more reeds perform to your expectations.

Three different pressure plates

Whether you're playing classical or jazz, the Optimum Ligature's three pressure plates accommodate your style
