The company Vandoren was founded in 1905. It quickly became the market leader in reeds, mouthpieces and accessories for clarinets and saxophones. Today, Vandoren exports 90% of its production to more than 100 countries, thanks to a know-how and commitment every moment. The Vandoren company is a family business founded by Eugène Van Doren, soloist of the Orchestra Concerts Colonne. Continued by his son, clarinetist Robert Van Doren, then by Bernard Van Doren, today's president. Robert, Bernard's son, joined the company in 2014. Excellence since 1905 Vandoren has been dedicated to beautiful music through high-quality, innovative products since the company's inception in 1905. In the fourth generation, the Vandoren family continues to make the highest quality reeds, mouthpieces, ligatures and accessories in the world, maintaining close relationships with the artists, educators, and students who depend on them.

Review: Ligature with interchangeable plates - I have been playing for 5 years, and have previously used a leather ligature, but found this did not always hold the reed in place. This ligature includes 3 plates, and they all hold the reed securely. The plates are not easy to change, as they need a bit of careful brute force to remove them, but they are worth it to alter the ease of playing, and tone. Review: Lovely ligature, choise of sound / performace type with alternative back plates - This made a distict difference to my performance, particularly when I managed to change the base place for number 2 rather than the number 1 that was prefitted. The first plate does reduce any squeaks but it is a bit limiting on the sound. Plate number 2 allows the reed to move more freely. A few squeeks may occur initially but, toning up the ambrasure will deal with that. I have not tried plate 3 yet and that is my first quibble, the plates are a real b*g**r to fit. Perhaps an additional gripe, it was a tad tarnished. Must have been in the shop a while. Wiped clean with a suitable silver cloth, and yes, although this is often described as metal, it is in fact silver plate. My final gripe, the plastic vandoran cap supplied with it is a real piece of rubbish. Fortunately my existing cap still fits. ## Features - Expression with freedom. - With plastic Cap - For Alto clarinet ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BAQS3C | | Best Sellers Rank | 15,239 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 21 in Ligatures | | Brand | VANDOREN | | Brand Name | VANDOREN | | Colour | black | | Country of Origin | France | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,294 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00008576311049 | | Included Components | ligature with plastic cap | | Instrument Key | E Flat | | Instrument key | E Flat | | Item Dimensions | 12.7 x 5.7 x 5.7 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Optimum Alto Saxophone Ligature with Plastic Cap | | Item Weight | 0.13 Pounds | | Item weight | 0.13 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Vandoren | | Manufacturer Part Number | LC07P | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | AVD LC07P | | Model Number | LC07P | | Product Warranty | None. | | Style | Alto Sax | | UPC | 008576311049 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** VANDOREN - **Colour:** black - **Instrument key:** E Flat - **Material:** Plastic - **Style:** Alto Sax ## Images ![Optimum Series Saxophone Ligatures Alto W/ Plastic Cap - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZLEYiOLqL.jpg) ![Optimum Series Saxophone Ligatures Alto W/ Plastic Cap - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512-+iDVBSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ligature with interchangeable plates *by J***J on 26 September 2013* I have been playing for 5 years, and have previously used a leather ligature, but found this did not always hold the reed in place.

Reliable, simple and does it's job very well. *by A***S on 20 October 2020* This is a popular ligature and for good reason. It does the job it's meant to - it holds the reed to the mouthpiece securely and as long as your mouthpiece table is flat, it creates the perfect seal. I'm a fan of one screw ligatures for the simplicity. Some people like the precision you can get with varying the tightness of two screws, but I like to just get playing! The plates are a nice idea but I don't hear any major tonal differences. The Optimum with any of the plates will naturally feel different to a fabric or leather ligature. Articulation feels cleaner and I find notes in the extreme registers to speak more freely. I've got one for tenor and alto and they fit a wide range of mouthpieces. Yes, some people may not like the bold 'V' cut out and want something boutique and unbranded, but if you don't care about looks and want to get playing, you need this in your musical arsenal! ## Frequently Bought Together - Vandoren LC07P Optimum Ligature and Plastic Cap for Alto Saxophone Gilded with 3 Interchangeable Pressure Plates, Black - Vandoren SM711 AL3 Optimum Series Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece - Vandoren SR213 Alto Sax Traditional Reeds Strength 3; Box of 10 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/49678933-optimum-series-saxophone-ligatures-alto-w-plastic-cap](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/49678933-optimum-series-saxophone-ligatures-alto-w-plastic-cap) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
