The SweetSpot Ligature
Choose options
The YBRATO SweetSpot Ligature features a three-dimensionally adjustable lever (3D lever) that lets you precisely set the effective hardness of your reed. Its finely adjustable tuning system allows you to optimise every aspect of your setup.
The reed tip vibrates in the highly sensitive zone between the mouthpiece curve and the player’s lips 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.
Most ligatures claim to let the reed vibrate more freely, but in reality they focus on the reed’s body — the stiff, non-vibrating section clamped to the mouthpiece. True sound, however, is created somewhere else entirely: at the reed tip. Precision where sound begins!
