Detail 01
Cap, not a ligature
It covers the reed and ligature. You still need the Ultimate ligature itself for it to sit correctly.

Ultimate LigatureFrancois Louis Saxophone Ligatures Smart Cap For Ultimate Ligatures, Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A replacement cap for Francois Louis Ultimate ligatures, medium size. Buy it if you own that ligature and need a cap that clears it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who already run a Francois Louis Ultimate ligature
- Replacing a lost or cracked cap on that ligature
- Keeping a reed protected between sets
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a ligature — this is the cap only
- Standard two-screw ligatures the cap wasn't shaped for
- Players wanting a universal cap across several mouthpieces
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
Medium size
Sizing follows the ligature it caps. Match the size you already own rather than the mouthpiece number.
Detail 03
Inverted screw placement
The hardware sits underneath, so the cap is cut to clear a ligature whose screws are on the reed side.
Detail 04
Brand-specific fit
Shaped around the Ultimate ligature's profile. A generic cap usually rocks or won't seat over it.
Detail 05
Low price for a sax accessory
Cheap enough to keep a spare in the case, which is worth doing since caps are the part that goes missing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your Ultimate ligature is the medium size before ordering
- 02No ligature, mouthpiece or reed comes with it
- 03A cap does not stop a wet reed from warping — dry it first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with the ligature?
No. It's the cap alone, made to fit over Francois Louis Ultimate ligatures. You need to already own the ligature.
02Will it fit my regular sax mouthpiece cap slot?
It's cut for the Ultimate ligature's shape, not for generic mouthpieces. Expect a poor fit on anything else.
03How do I know if I need medium?
Size matches your existing Ultimate ligature, not your mouthpiece brand or horn. Check the size marked on the ligature you own.
04What does inverted screw placement mean here?
The ligature's tightening screws sit under the mouthpiece rather than on top, and the cap is shaped to clear them.
