ORIGINAL Saxophone Ligature – Gen. 5

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 6 customer ratings
(6 customer reviews)

$160.00 – $185.00

ORIGINAL

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 color, playability and projection. Add two additional fine tuners for an instant upgrade to produce a richer sound with even more harmonics!

 

  • NEW! Patented Rocking Bridge

    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.

Also included:

  • OmniCap
  • Rocking Bridge rubber shoes
  • 1.5mm hex wrench
  • User manual with warranty registration card
  • 2-Year Warranty

** All Silverstein ligatures can be sized and adjusted for a precise fit on your unique mouthpiece. **

For model selection, see sizing chart


Note:

If SOUND is your primary concern, then we recommend NOT to use the rocking bridge’s black rubber shoes included with the ligature.

The sole purpose of the rubber shoes is to prevent potential minor scratches on your mouthpiece’s finish. While these pads provide protection to the mouthpiece, they also absorb sound energy which can noticeably reduce the ligature’s performance and affect timbral quality and response.

Please allow 3-5 additional days for engraving.

Old-World Ingenuity Meets 21st Century Design

Every Silverstein ligature includes these standard features:

  • HARMONIC PARTIALS: The first thing you will notice is how free the reed becomes, resulting in increased harmonic partials for depth of sound.
  • 2ND EVOLUTION CORD: Improved cord technology results in a thinner thread for even less contact and pressure on the reed.
  • TONAL CONTROL: New fine tuners change how the ligature responds to the vibrations of the reed, tuning the focus and color of your sound to give unprecedented control and flexibility.
  • SOUND ADJUSTMENT: The nut regulates tension on the cord. By tightening less, the reed vibrates more for a darker sound.
  • PRECISION FIT: Easily customize the ligature using a standard hex wrench.
  • HAND-FINISHED: The elegant design and craftsmanship speaks for itself.

2 Year Warranty

    Ian Curriden (verified owner) – August 13, 2023

    I heard of these ligatures after watching Marcus Strickland play them on all of his horns. His tone is lovely, so I decided to check them out.

    I first bought one for my tenor. I was BLOWN AWAY by the difference in my sound. I tested it out by just playing on the mouthpiece. The sound was so much richer, fuller, better. And the ligature gives you a great deal of control over how concentrated or loose you want your sound to be.

    Having fallen in love with my first buy, I got a second one for my alto. Similar to my first experience, this one HIT IT OUTTA THE PARK. Great ligature.

    I cannot recommend these enough. They’re well-made, pretty, and, most importantly, they make my horns sing.

    Silverstein also has exceptional customer service. Richie Cruz really helped me out when my ligature was a bit too small.

    Do yourself a solid and grab a Silverstein ligature.

    Peter Van Huffel – July 22, 2022

    I love the ligature – I find it slighten darkens my sound which I am very happy about, while completely balancing the sound and tones from high to low on the instrument. It also helps make the altissimo range easier to play.

    William Anderson – July 20, 2022

    On my system this ligature is outstanding. The ***** reed is held without excessive force, which has been problematic with other ligatures on my mouthpiece. My tone has not perceivably changed (I didn’t expect it to); however, the reed is more free blowing allowing the use of harder reeds. This ligature was worth the extra cost.
