Detail 01
Sized for metal mouthpieces
Metal pieces are slimmer than hard rubber. A ligature cut for rubber will not clamp down properly.

Selmer ParisLigatures and Caps for Metal Saxophone Mouthpieces Soprano Ligature
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take

Strong match
Who this is for
- Soprano players running a metal mouthpiece
- Replacing a stretched or bent stock ligature
- Players who want a matching cap included
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Alto, tenor or baritone players — this is soprano only
- Hard rubber mouthpieces, which have a different outside diameter
- Anyone needing a fabric or leather-style 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
Soprano-specific
Soprano mouthpieces are the smallest of the family, so nothing from a larger horn will fit.
Detail 03
Cap included
Protects the reed tip and table between sessions, which is where most reed damage happens.
Detail 04
Metal band construction
Holds its shape and clamping pressure over years, unlike fabric ligatures that loosen with use.
Detail 05
$63.99
Above generic ligature money. You are paying for fit tolerance and the matched cap.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure or check your mouthpiece — metal and hard rubber sopranos are not interchangeable
- 02No mouthpiece or reed is included
- 03Overtightening the screws can dent a soft reed and warp the band
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my hard rubber soprano mouthpiece?
No. It is cut for metal soprano mouthpieces, which have a smaller outside diameter. A rubber piece will not seat correctly under it.
02Does it come with the cap?
Yes, the cap is included with the ligature.
03Can I use this on alto sax?
No. Alto mouthpieces are considerably larger. This is soprano only.
04How tight should I make the screws?
Snug enough that the reed does not shift when you play. Past that you are only compressing the reed and stressing the band.
