Product Information

Vandoren, a French based company, make some of the most popular mouthpieces and reeds for clarinettists and saxophonists, and their selection of ligatures are just as popular.

Vandoren’s ever popular gold-plated Optimum ligatures offer an opportunity to adjust the sound, using the 3 interchangeable pressure plates. The ligature has a solid single screw design, to allow quick and precise adjustment, whilst ensuring consistent hold and pressure on the reed.

Whether playing classical or jazz, the Optimum Ligature’s 3 pressure plates will accommodate your style:

A rich, colourful sonority which produces great resonance. Pressure along the fibre of the reed facilitates an unbelievable blowing ease. Incredible ease of articulation. A more compact, centred sonority, smooth even sound and extraordinary blowing ease. The reed vibrates in total freedom, producing a very flexible sound. Greater ease of expression.

The Vandoren Baritone Saxophone Optimum Ligature:

  • Is made in France
  • Has a gold-plated finish - giving a rich, colourful tone
  • Is provided with a plastic cap, to protect your reed when not in use
  • Fits most plastic, and ebonite baritone saxophone mouthpieces

This ligature would be suitable for an intermediate or professional player, looking for a top-quality ligature to facilitate great ease of expression, with freedom.

Vandoren Optimum Baritone Saxophone Ligature & Cap LC09P - Plastic Cap Reviews

Anonymous review via Feefo  -  2026-10-19

Dawkes returns policy works and is greatly appreciated. The SYOS mouthpieces are more slender than standard ebonite mouthpieces - something I had not appreciated when I ordered this ligature. The Dawkes returns policy and full refund is a greatly appreciated asset to the Dawkes business. After recent research I have discovered that a standard tenor saxophone ligature fits the SYOS Baritone mouthpieces so I’ll soon be ordering a tenor saxophone ligature for my Bari mouthpiece. Thanks as always to a greatly appreciated team at Dawkes.

Works well with the Aizen mouthpiece. Allows the reed to sing!
