The essentials to know about the Fibra ligature Henri SELMER Paris
- Free vibration and homogeneous sound for immediate response.

- Braided nautical cord Ø 2 mm, high resistance (100 kg per strand).
- Polished Zamak clasp, engraved with the "S" SELMER, precise and durable.
Between tradition and innovation, a SELMER signature
Inspired by wire ligatures from German schools, the
Fibra reinterprets this principle with modern technical materials and contemporary mechanics. A product of SELMER Paris's acoustic research and artisanal expertise, it combines heritage and performance.
For demanding clarinetists and saxophonists
Designed to free expression, stabilize the low notes, and refine the attack, it offers a responsive response and an immediately balanced range, both in the studio and on stage.
Strength, flexibility, and precision for everyday use
The flexible nautical cord distributes pressure for uniform tightening, while the Zamak clasp ensures a reliable fit over time. Once the ideal tension is found, the ligature can be removed and reattached without further adjustment.
