Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this worth $595 over the $219 HR*?
Both are .065 in a 6* facing, so you're paying for the DV line itself, not a different tip size. Worth it once you know that facing works for you.
02Does a ligature come with it?
No. Plan on your existing ligature and cap, and check that it closes correctly on this piece.
03Will this fit my soprano saxophone?
It's made for soprano necks. Actual fit comes down to your cork thickness — expect to grease it or sand it slightly.
04What reed strength should I start with?
A .065 tip is on the narrow side and typically calls for a harder reed than an open-tip piece. Start near your current strength and adjust.
