The shimmering warm purity of the sound, the ease of expression, response and articulation and the &#8220;snug without pressure&#8221; fit on my classical mouthpieces was unparalleled. Superiour to the most expensive ligatures in my collection. Now I&#8217;m equally amazed by the far less expensive Satin Brass ligatures. Only the ZAC ligatures without a resonator plate cost less than this model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">They are the perfect jazz ligature. They have a darker, grainier, somewhat broader sound than the Gold Plated Silver model&#8230;a centred dense core along with incredible ease of articulation and response to the extreme highs and lows of the saxophone range at every dynamic. I put them up against a half dozen of my favourite ligatures at every price point&#8230;.they are about in the middle of the price range &#8230;.and they just KILL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Very affordable&#8230;and you cannot afford to be without &#8217;em! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I played a gig last week on Baritone and I gasped at the sound at Hermann&#8217;s Jazz Club.  Unbelievably full, warm and reverberant even at the softest dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Now I&#8217;ve tried them on all my treasured JodyJazz Custom Dark mouthpieces and they just love each other, as do I!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">My advice&#8230;.<strong>GO GET &#8216;EM!<\/strong>  The Canadian Distributor is <a href=\"https:\/\/massullomusic.com\">Massullo Music<\/a> in Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Brass-Zacs-on-Custom-Darks-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Brass-Zacs-on-Custom-Darks-1024x615.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Brass-Zacs-on-Custom-Darks-1024x615.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Brass-Zacs-on-Custom-Darks-300x180.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Brass-Zacs-on-Custom-Darks-768x461.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Brass-Zacs-on-Custom-Darks-1536x923.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Brass-Zacs-on-Custom-Darks-2048x1231.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My second-last post covered my experience with the astonishing design, engineering and sound of the ZAC Gold Plated Sterling Silver ligatures.
