Vandoren Optimum Soprano Saxophone Ligature - Brand: Vandoren - Included: Ligature, cap, spare plates - Model Name: Optimum - Color: Gold Plate The box has some minor scratches and tears, but the main body and plates are clean. For reference, I used this with an alto saxophone Dukoff mouthpiece for about a month. It allowed for powerful playing and was enjoyable, but I've decided to sell it now that I've acquired a Woodstone ligature for my Dukoff mouthpiece.
