The Ligature is very nicely placed inside a brown plastic non-corrosive bag to protect the silver plating on the ligature

Love the interchangeable plates, you can get any combo of tone/playability you want

I love the different ligature plates, it gives me some flexibility in my sound free-blowing

The interchangeable plates make everything so much easier to play!

I may do more experimenting with the number 1 plate, but so far have found it to produce too constricted a tone

, plates are cool.

I personally love the 3rd plate as I love playing

I am ordering a second ligature so that I can keep one with the number 3 plate installed, and one with the number 2 plate installed

The effect of the 3 different pressure plates is subtle, but I prefer the 3rd plate.

EAsy to daily usage, could enjoy three plate

Excellent (as always)- well worth the extra $
