The T- balance Ligature is incredibly responsive with a resonant full body sound providing lots of color in the overtones. At first glance this Ligature might look normal, but there is a lot more to the design than meets the eye. Incorporating French brass the Ligature is incredibly thin and unlacquered to minimize absorption of vibration and there are louvers position between the screws that enabled the reed to vibrate far more officially than traditional Ligature designs.
