Thank you for viewing. Unlike the standard Harrison ligature, this one has thicker metal, providing a stable playing feel. Because it's thicker than other Harrison ligatures, it produces a relatively full and powerful sound. It's an A3, so it fits well with slightly thicker mouthpieces like Meyer. It also works well with Selmer Concept mouthpieces. There is some slight clouding, but it's a beautiful gold-plated ligature. Thank you.
