D'Addario Rico Ligature, Baritone Sax, Nickel Plated

I'm not a huge fan of two-screw ligatures, but this one works, is low priced, and has the same great cap as the Rico H-Ligature. The cap grips the mouthpiece securely while in place and completely protects the reed, but it is ribbed and made of pliable material that slides easily on and off the mouthpiece when you want it to. The Rico ligature is not as convenient as some, and I debated rating it only four (4) stars. But the price is right and the Rico ligature is convenient enough once you use it a bit.

As is true with all ligatures, it may or may not fit your mouthpiece. It fits 2 of mine but not the 3rd one. It is a ligature and it does what it is supposed to do - it keeps my reed in place.

I was hopeful for a decent ligature at an affordable price. The design looked like an “everything you need, nothing you don’t.” I liked the four contact points on the reed. However, I never felt like it got a good fit on any mouthpieces. I figured it was just that particular piece, so I tried it on a variety of pieces. No dice. Even if I cranked it down, it would still slip off. (And you shouldn’t crank down a ligature anyway.) I tried one for bari and one for tenor. I wasn’t shocked about the bari one since bari mouthpieces come in such a wide variety of sizes, but I had the same experience with the tenor piece. Amazon is suggesting I talk about “ease of use” and “sound quality.” I would say it has poor ease of use if it doesn’t fit well. And it sounds terrible if it isn’t effectively holding the reed on the mouthpiece, which is its sole job to do.

Nothing overly special about this ligature. It does the job. Many players prefer the classic Rico ligature. I alternate between this and a Rovner. I like this ligature because it gives me the proper fit and tightness that I want on my reed. I highly recommend this product

The ligature does not fit a rico standard mouthpiece or any regular mouthpiece. I bought this thinking it would fit the rico mouthpiece I got, but it doesn't fit at all and if you try to fit it, it just comes off. Avoid this ligature.

I have two middle school age children that play clarinets and this purchase was great. Good quality. Come individually wrapped inside the box. Will be buying again.

My daughter doesn’t like the screws touching her lip. This allows the ligature to be turned around and the band director not “call her out” for having it turned incorrectly. Plus the mouth piece cover is proof that ithe ligature does go that way since the mouthpiece cover only goes on one way.

Nice ligature, and nice looking cap, but the cap does not fit my Yamaha 4C mouthpiece, which is strange because the Yamaha 4C is a classic and it is a standard mouthpiece. Possibly, the cap is made only for Rico's mouthpieces. In this case, they should say it in the advertisement. I could have saved a few dollars buying only the ligature.

Ha llegado completamente desformado, le falta una tuerca….increible

LA LIgature à l'air bien mais il manque une vis .il faut que j'en trouve une

perfect!!!

facile da montare, neutra nella resa sonora, non colora particolarmente il timbro dunque se questo è quello che cercate da una legatura questa fa al caso vostro. Occhio al prezzo, talvolta è venduta e prezzata al limite della rapina in banca.

J,ai reçu cette ligature 2 jours avant la livraison prévue. J'ai pu l'essayer ce weekend. C'est très bien, la anche est bien tenue, et le son rendu est bien meilleur qu'avec mon ancienne. Ligature standard. Un son fluide et facile a jouer. La anche vibre beaucoup mieux semble t'il. Surtout que la ligature va parfaitement sur mon bec métal berg larsen 110., belle surprise. Si vous cherchez une ligature de bonne qualité sans payer trop cher, n'hésitez pas! Mais un petit bémol elle semble fragile très fine a voir dans la durée.
