The SweetSpot Ligature

Precision Where Sound Begins
Most ligatures claim to let the reed vibrate more freely. In reality, they focus on the reed’s body — the stiff, non-vibrating part clamped to the mouthpiece. But true sound is created somewhere else entirely: at the reed tip. The tip vibrates in the narrow space between the mouthpiece curve and the player’s lips — a highly sensitive zone where even the smallest adjustments make a significant difference. Factors like tip opening, facing length, reed cut, reed strength, as well as your lips and teeth, all shape this critical area.
This is exactly where the Ybrato SweetSpot Ligature operates — the only ligature in the world that directly affects the reed tip. Its finely adjustable tuning system allows you to optimise every aspect of your setup:
-
Faster response
-
Improved intonation
-
More control over tone and dynamics
-
Wider reed compatibility
Ybrato SweetSpot Ligature — the first ligature that doesn’t just hold the reed, it elevates it.
