[Original Series]
The Original Series has a surprising response and resonant sound. With a clear, bright tone and wonderful reed response, you will be able to play exactly as you want!
[Classic Series]
The Classic Series inherits the performance of the Original Series,but also includes a slightly darker timbre. This ligature makes the sound resonate, giving an even contour.
You will hear amazing sounds you never knew existed!
[Screws]
Metal has fibers just like wood.
Sound is transmitted by fiber.
Because of that, we do not waste time on useless cutting.
Screws used in instruments are all processed with"cutting". However, our company uses a patented "rolling" technique because we have the world's top technical skills from motorcycle processing! We deliver safety, security and durability to the ligature.
In our product, metal fibers are continuously formed in each part, as opposed to breaking the flow of fibers by cutting.
This completely changes the transmission of sound as it passes through the screws.

[Musical Point of View]
Flexibility: able to perform both bright and gentle tones with equal clarity.
Colorful piece: gives you the freedom to express your style.
Easy to use for all level of musicians from beginners to professionals, including children and adults of all ages.
(The World's Highest Quality)
Amazing response makes it easy to play your instrument precisely to the demands of your musical score.
Nothing performs better!
*Turn the screws just enough to hold the reed snugly, but not too tightly.
(Outstanding quality and durability guaranteed: 0 Defects when fastened over 20.000 times in endurance tests)
[Product Materials]
Aluminum vibrates 1.4~1.5 times faster than "Brass"
No harmful materials, no odors and 100% environmentally friendly.
The same aluminum is used for food packaging and medical equipment.
High grade aluminum improves cleanliness around the mouthpiece.
Recyclable (environment friendly) Ligature “Say B♭" is the only recyclable ligature in the world!
The surface color is achieved through an Alumite Treatment Coloration process, which uses a chemical reaction to infuse color into the material.
The color easily lasts for more than 5 years!
For the first time, a rolled thread screw is used (cut thread screws are the current industry standard)
The metallurgic structure is not sheared or damaged by the rolled threaded screw.
This is the strongest type screw and does not affect the reed' s vibration when tightened. A Urethane resin coating treatment is applied to the ligature “Say B♭" where it fits to the reed.
In order to achieve the best performance of the reed, the ligature does not obstruct the reed's delicate vibrations.
The “Say Bb” ligature elevates reed instruments playing and gives the best response performance in the world!!!!!
[Various experiments and measurements]
This is part of frequency component analysis data.
(A)Ligature made of brass
(B)Ligature made of aluminum
We used a sonic vibration test with our ligature at an experiment facility, the "Anechoic Room" in Shizuoka prefecture.
Because of the acoustical data results from our aluminum ligature, you can recommend this product to everyone with confidence.
When ligature screws are tightened, they become useless if the parts break! That remains the same no matter how many years have passed!
We have undertaken numerous developmental experiments with
electron microscopes, doing meticulous research into parts that are invisible to the eye.
This is a part of electron microscopy inspection data.
At the time of electron microscope measurement, the ligature
is cut like this, and a test piece is prepared and measured.
A company corrosion experiment.
Left image is a product that was left for 3 years in neglectful circumstances. In order to test corrosion to the inside, each product surface was damaged with countless knife scratches.
There was no corrosion on the aluminum ligature (blue) at all, due to its reliance on the same coloring technology used outside in motorcycle wheels!
We did various experiments and measurements and deliver SayB♭'s ligature to everyone so that there is no deformation or breakage with long use.
Motorcycle processing technology is a technologyof maintaining quality, and all aspects have been explored to develop the bestligature in the world.
