Good but not for me
TonyOr 01.04.2019
I recently bought a Vandoren Optimum ligature for my tenor, to go with the V12 mouthpiece I had also bought, and was very impressed by it. It was a significant upgrade from the Rico ligature I had been using. I therefore decided to order one for my alto as well. This turned out to be a completely different story.

I have a Yanagisawa AWO2 and am using a Meyer 5M and the supplied Yanagisawa ligature with Select Jazz 2H reeds. The Vandoren sounds very good with all three plates. It has a sweet, singing, lively sound and I have no complaints about it at all. It's just that the Yanagisawa is better. The Yanagisawa gives a stronger, fuller core tone and works better for jazz, which is what I play. in comparison, the Vandoren lacks depth but is smoother and sweeter, especially at the low end.

It may be that the Optimum ligature in combination with a V12 mouthpiece would work better that the Yanagisawa - they do seem to be a very good match on my tenor - but I tried the V12 on my alto and didn't like it as much as the Meyer, so I didn't go down that route..

Just as expected!
funkysoulmate 11.01.2021
Very easy to tighten and sturdy. A little bit disappointed with the plastic cap. The tenor version I bought more than a decade ago came with a metal cap.

P
amazing ligature!
Pianosaxclarinet 03.10.2013
This is a very impressive ligature from our friends at Vandoren. The single screw allows for more easier setting up, while the three interchangeable pressure plates offer a great variety of sound and tone qualities. I use this with a Vandoren Classic Blue strength 3 reed, and with this I prefer to use either the vertical grooved or the horizontal striped pressure plate however it will very much depend on your reed, mouthpiece and embouchure.

Compliments any mouthpiece
James573 04.06.2013
Ligature choice makes a surprising difference to playing experience. This Ligature isn't cheap but it is one of the best on the market. Evens out the response, helps the player achieve a focussed and bright tone, without being shrill. The interchangeable pressure plates provide some variety of tonal color
