Good Sound And some catching-up to do on the quality

I use this Ligature for a Otto Link ST 7 and am fully satisfied with the tone and feedback.

However i have to Mention that it is a verry fragile whitch makes me question the quality of it. It further leaves visible scratches on the metal mouthpiece.

Btw, the appearance of this Ligature is a definite winner..

Free and easy blowing

This is strange-looking ligature indeed, and it has a charmingly handmade feel. It doesn't really make any difference to my tone, but makes it so much easier to produce. And less effort translates to greater fluency. I really like it.
