Enjoy the ligature that established the Silverstein brand. This ligature strikes a pleasing balance between flexible response and focused control, easier dynamics and interesting tone colour, playability and projection. Add two additional fine tuners for an instant upgrade to produce a richer sound with even more harmonics! Aside from its cool appearance, the Silverstein ligature has numerous radical design attributes that provide real world benefits. Choose your instrument from the dropdown below.
Original Ligature Black: The ligature covers a minimum amount of surface area on the reed, while still being able to maintain an incredibly firm grip. The Tension Adjustment pulls up (rather than just pinching the sides like most other ligatures) and the remarkable design allows the tension to ease throughout the cord evenly over time. The result is the purest sound formed from the natural vibrations of the reed. The custom-engineered cord is meanwhile designed to facilitate the natural vibrations without adding to them in any way, and the core has been constructed and quality tested to never stretch.
NEW! Gen 5 Original ligatures: Gen. 5 Silverstein ligatures are distinguished by a completely redesigned bridge. The rocking action of the bridge automatically achieves an optimal alignment with your mouthpiece. And, the elongated feet provide secure grip to prevent slipping, even when quickly changing mouthpieces. The direct contact of the bridge feet on the mouthpiece acts as resonance plates, which further integrates your setup for maximum and efficient sound production.
