YBRATO ReedReflector Full Titan is a professional titanium alto saxophone ligature featuring a solid titanium reflector. Designed and manufactured in Germany, its precision construction provides secure reed positioning, responsive articulation and precise adjustment of the clamping force. Unlike versions combining different materials, Full Titan uses titanium for both the ligature body and the ReedReflector element.
Sound and playing characteristics
The ligature secures the reed against the mouthpiece and determines the conditions of mechanical contact. The ReedReflector design minimizes the contact area while maintaining a secure grip on the reed.
The solid titanium reflector touches the reed through two longitudinal rails. According to YBRATO, this design helps minimize reed vibration damping while promoting a responsive feel, rich overtones and effective sound projection.
The actual playing experience depends on the complete setup, including the mouthpiece, reed, instrument and playing technique. Ligature material is one of several factors affecting the response.
Full Titan key feature: a titanium body combined with a solid, precision CNC-milled titanium reflector. Two longitudinal contact rails provide secure reed positioning with a minimal contact area.
Full titanium construction
Titanium combines high strength relative to its weight, corrosion resistance and comparatively low density. These properties make it a suitable material for precision-engineered musical accessories.
In the Full Titan version, the ReedReflector element is also machined from titanium using precision CNC technology. Its two longitudinal rails make direct contact with the reed.
The ligature band features mechanically joined, solder-free construction. An integrated left-hand and right-hand threaded tightening mechanism provides even clamping and accurate centering on the mouthpiece. The ergonomically knurled adjustment screw makes reed installation and replacement convenient.
YBRATO ligatures are produced in small batches and assembled by hand in Munich, Germany.
