Silverstein Hexa Ligature Alto Saxophone, Size 7 (Fits Selmer S80, S90, etc.) Gold Plated It gives the impression of producing a sound with a core. I feel it's recommended when you want a sound that cuts through in an ensemble. Responsiveness, good sound, and evenness of sound are also characteristic. The sound changes quite a bit depending on the position of the left and right bars, which is interesting. Bringing it closer to the reed makes the core stronger and the response faster; moving it away results in a more mellow tone. It also changes depending on how tightly the ligature is tightened, so you can adjust it to your liking, which is a good point of this ligature.
