AK Ligature Models
The AK Ligature is only available for Bb Clarinet at the moment, but we will be ramping up for saxophone models soon!
AK Ligature for Clarinet:
The AK Ligature for Clarinet will be available in 2 models:
- CL01 – Standard Model – This model will fit most clarinet mouthpieces including Zinner based mouthpieces, D’Addario Reserve, Selmer Paris and most Vandoren mouthpieces (excludes the Vandoren Masters models).
- CL02 – Pomarico Model – Designed to fit Pomarico based Crystal mouthpieces (including Backun CG and MoBa Crystal mouthpieces).
AK Reed Plates:
The AK Ligature gives great flexibility with magnetically attached reed plates to allow for quick swapping. In fact, you can change the reed plate while leaving the ligature on the mouthpiece (with the reed off of course)! All AK Ligature models will include 2 stock reed plates with purchase. These are the 4 point & 2 rail plate designs made from brass.
However, other reed plate models will be available in the near future to further enhance tonal performance! Solid Silver reed plates are already in small scale production (so we can figure our final costs on them) and we are prototyping other materials as well.
AK Ligature Mouthpiece Cap
With such a uniquely designed ligature, we have had to design a whole new cap concept. We are still prototyping several unique, 3D printed designs in order to come up with a cap that is protective, secure and frankly, amazing! Like the AK Ligature, our cap will be like nothing else on the market today! Stay tuned!
AK Saxophone Ligatures
Saxophone models will be launched in the future. However, these models will take more time to develop due to the wide variety of mouthpiece makes, models & tapers. Initial plans are to make a standard hard rubber model for Meyer style alto sax mouthpieces as well as a model for Theo Wanne metal mouthpieces.
