Questions & Answers
Directly from jody jazz I purchased an H ligature to fit that mouthpiece.
The metal link style is compatible with this mouthpiece. The D'Abbario select jazz does not have this shape, as far as I'm aware.
The mouthpieces are usually made from hard rubber or metal, and will fit either size. For baritone saxophone, you should get the hard rubber. This is a great saxophone, I use it for straight soprano. Kipfer, Tom
I'm assuming it's a Rico ligature, so all should be well.

A very well made ligature based on a classic design, allowing the 5C and 6C notes to be played more easily and with a rich resonance in the bottom As you can see, this ligature has an enormous influence on both the sound and the resonance of the reed depending on its' position (up / down) on the reed mouthpiece. The primary cause is the mouthpiece design which may have flat or mildly concave jaw tables. The impact of a flat table is reduced substantially, however if your mouthpiece design includes a and a , the impact is much greater. Enter "0002" as a decimal. In the lower half of the reed, which is clamped, there is a deep gradual concave valley dip that creates varying sounds on the vibration of the reed. A ligature in each position will affect the angle of the spring board that is created by the clamping action of the ligature on the valley and result in different responses from the reed. In doing so, these changing spring board angles create a change in main reed tension that creates a wider openness when the reed vibrates. With the ligature moved up or down by 1/16" degree increments, the point of the clamping action contact within the concave valley would be different, thus creating a colored pattern of vibration within the reed. Please do not overdo it Using a ligature, try tightening or loosening it up to +- two positions A 1/8" diameter. Here is something that may be of interest to some readers.
As a first impression, this was a nice looking ligature with a In addition, the inside of the one I received was poorly finished at the factory and was slightly misshapen. I found that when I used it, it immediately scratched my mouthpiece (which I never experienced with any other connection). Even after capping the ligature with a reed and leaving it on overnight for it to form to the mouthpiece, it was not able to fix it well to the overall contour of my Vandoren It has returned.
After receiving my ligature, nothing looked right. There were dust particles all over my hand and it looked very rusty. Of course, I thought I had been cheated out of my money. When I checked it a few days later, I noticed it wasn't as rusty as it was on day one, so I rigorously wiped it off and now it looks like it's worth the $30+ I paid. Although the presentation of the ligature looked like it could belong on the battlefield in Avengers Endgame when it arrived, I would have preferred a better presentation. In addition, I found the following As it turned out, there was Rico branding instead of D'addario -- oddly enough, I ordered a gold H-style I got a mouthpiece with D'addario branding instead of Rico for my soprano mouthpiece. I would like to point out that the ligature I ordered for my soprano mouthpiece (Selmer concept) may be a bit Although it is not the same as my C*, it fits nicely.
Recently, I broke a metal ligature which cost me quite a bit. The reason I bought this one was that it was cheap and metal and I didn't have an adequate backup. The ligature surprised me, as I never expected to like it so much. However, it's working very well, perhaps better than the more expensive one I had before. In addition, the gold plating is a lot nicer than I had anticipated. I love how the ligature and cap fit perfectly on my Behn mouthpiece, and I'm relatively satisfied with the sound quality. The H ligature is highly recommended if you are looking to upgrade your ligature and want something different from the rovers, which can really muffle the sound.
Despite looking nice and shiny, this product did not perform as well as the requirements I had for it. To make it easier for me, I selected a ligature that could be easily on and off. A two screw inverted design did not work well for me, and it was hard to get reed to hold. I have returned it in exchange for a single screw ligature that functions as desired.
A inverted ligature was not something I expected to like, but I found it to be quite enjoyable. What a wonderful piece of writing! Its screws operate smoothly and the reed is held securely without causing the sound to be dampened. Furthermore, the mouthpiece cap is specially designed for the inverted ligature, which makes it very convenient. Upgrades like this are always welcome.
It was noticeable that the overall response of the horn improved from low Bb to the altissimo. Only thing I would complain about is that the top of the ligature does not exactly cover the center ridge of the Link. On the Amazon photo for it, it appears to be clamped on both sides of the ridge, but it actually wants to sit right on top of it, so it needs to be centered just right or the H won't go straight We can't really complain in this case, because the stock Otto Link ligature is so horrible, we should be happy with anything that improves it.
In comparison to a Harrison ligature, this one is very thick. As a result, it was thinner and more fragile, but it had a higher response in the low register and more resonance. Although the new ligature seems to be more durable and thicker, I prefer the newer Selmer inverted or BG ligatures.
