“The Silverstein ligatures have been a game changer for me since the beginning of my experience with them. As a classical and contemporary artist, I am constantly on the lookout for the most comfortable and long-lasting equipment. The Silverstein ligatures give me incredible flexibility and allow me to play comfortably on all of my woodwind instruments. The concept of the ligatures is well-thought-out, and it shows when you play them. I highly recommend these marvelous ligatures to both my friends and students.”
