These pressure pads, supplied with each Vandoren Optimum ligature, offer you the possibility to change your sound without necessarily changing your ligature.
Three pads, three different sounds If the Optimum ligature suits you, whether for its aesthetic or sound qualities, don't hesitate. These plates will allow you to refine your sound easily and quickly.
- A lengthwise grooved plate will give you a rich sound. The vibration in the direction of the reed fibres guarantees an easy staccato.
- A plate with two horizontal grooves will produce a more compact and centred sound, without restricting your emission.
- A plate with four points of support in the corners will let the reed vibrate freely, allowing you to express all the emotions you wish to emit during your performances.
