Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. You will need a soprano ligature and cap. Check that the ligature is sized for a hard rubber soprano mouthpiece, since metal pieces have different dimensions.
Start near your current strength and adjust from there. A more open facing usually calls for a slightly softer reed, a closer one for slightly harder.
It leans classical and ensemble playing, favoring a centered, blending tone. Jazz players wanting more edge and volume usually look at brighter designs.
It fits standard soprano saxophone necks. Fit at the cork can vary slightly between horns, so the cork may need a small adjustment by a tech.
