“I had heard a lot about these ligatures, and I always try the new materials and every time I tried it I felt something new and better like colorful sound, really easy blowing and really good staccato on the ligatures and a really interesting work on the Reedcure, for that reason I love this big family because they are always improving! Actually I’m using the Hexa ligature for chamber music and the Cryo 4 for Orchestra programme, i love the differences between the two products, they have similar shape but the yield is completely different. I love the flexibility of the Silverstein product that gives you the chance to have different solutions in each situation.”
