Yanagisawa Yany SIXS Alto Saxophone Ligature - Gold Plated

Carrying ligature design to the next stage

These structural elements transmit the reed's vibrations directly to the player, contribute to a pleasurable, easy-blowing experience, and help produce a voice of exceptional resonance and core with expansive dynamic range and a rich tonal palette.

Brass Discs
These small discs play a core role in transmitting the reed's vibrations to the ligature. Their contact surfaces are rounded, enabling the ligature to hold the reed more firmly, regardless of mouthpiece shape.

Ebonite Spacers
Yanagisawa have achieved optimal spacer hardness by carefully selecting Ebonite blends compatible with mouthpiece materials and maintaining total control over the duration and temperature of the vulcanization process.

Body
The ligature body has the strength to maintain the spaces between the six radial contact points around the mouthpiece body and the thickness to ensure the freedom and transmission of reed vibrations possible with this design.

Screw
Yanagisawa chose a screw with enough mass to fully unleash all the power in the Yany SIXS.

The Yany SIXS Cap
The Yany SIXS cap is produced with MAPKA, a new material composite comprising a blend of 51% paper powder with 49% polypropylene.
