Ligatures & Caps
Protect your mouthpiece, secure your reed, and refine your tone with Ligatures & Caps, the essential duo for every reed instrument player. Ligatures provide consistent reed vibration, improved articulation, and tone customization, while caps offer crucial protection from damage and debris, making them vital for practice, performance, and storage.
This category includes a wide variety of ligature and cap combinations in diverse materials, such as metal (brass, gold, silver), leather, fabric, composite materials, and durable plastic caps, suitable for clarinet and saxophone players of all levels. Products are available for different instrument types (soprano/alto/tenor/baritone sax, Bb/bass clarinet) and mouthpiece styles (ebonite, metal, crystal), allowing players to find the perfect match for their setup.
Ligatures and caps are widely used across orchestra, concert band, jazz, pop, marching band, and studio recording. A quality ligature significantly impacts sound quality and response, while the cap ensures that the delicate reed and mouthpiece tip remain protected when not in use, ensuring reliability across all musical settings.
Modern ligatures are built with precision engineering, innovative clamping mechanisms, and responsive pressure plates to maximize resonance, while caps are designed with snug fits and durable construction to ensure secure protection. Many designs focus on optimizing performance while offering practical protection.
Ligatures and caps are commonly paired with reeds, mouthpieces, swabs, instrument cases, and cleaning supplies to form a complete and efficient system for instrument readiness, sound optimization, and safe storage.
From basic plastic caps and metal ligatures to advanced leather systems with interchangeable plates, ligatures and caps provide the protection, control, and reliability that musicians rely on every day.
