Leblanc2205 Tenor Sax Ligature
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tenor saxophone ligature. Clamps the reed to the mouthpiece. A replacement for a lost or bent ligature, or a spare for the case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a ligature that was lost or bent out of shape
- Keeping a backup in the case for gigs and rehearsals
- Student players on a standard tenor mouthpiece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Alto, soprano, or baritone sax players
- Anyone on an oversized or unusually shaped mouthpiece
- Players chasing a specific tonal change from their ligature
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Ligature only
Holds the reed on. Does not affect pitch or scale. Fit and grip are what matter here.
Detail 03
Fits standard tenor mouthpieces
Sized around common hard rubber tenor mouthpieces. Wide metal or oversized pieces may not clamp correctly.
Detail 04
Screw-tightened band
Tighten enough to hold the reed still. Overtightening chokes reed vibration and can warp the band.
Detail 05
$21.99 price
Standard replacement-part money. Cheap enough to own two so a gig never stops for a broken ligature.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No mouthpiece cap included. Buy one separately if you need it.
- 02Check your mouthpiece against tenor sizing before ordering, especially metal pieces.
- 03Snug it down, do not crank it. Overtightening kills reed response.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my alto sax?
No. This is cut for tenor mouthpiece diameter. An alto mouthpiece is narrower and the band will not clamp down securely.
02Does it come with a cap?
No, this is the ligature alone. Mouthpiece caps are sold separately.
03Will it fit a metal mouthpiece?
Metal tenor mouthpieces run in different diameters than hard rubber. Measure yours first, since a standard-fit ligature may not close properly.
04How tight should I make it?
Tight enough that the reed does not shift when you play. Any more than that damps the reed and hurts response.
