The reference ligature for saxophone and clarinet mouthpieces. You’ll feel like your mouthpiece has improved in every way. It has only three points of contact with the mouthpiece allowing for incredible resonance. “The Sax” Magazine rated the Enlightened Ligature #1 in the world when testing all available ligatures in the market:
“The Enlightened Ligature has a very quick response. It has a wide range of dynamics and its articulation clearly responds. The design is very simple and cool looking. The Theo Wanne Enlightened Ligature had the best rating and was my favorite to play.” Full Article (pdf)
We also recommend using our premium Pressure Plate Kit (sold separately), which includes our Alive Gold plate, and Titanium, Stainless Steel, Vintified and Heavy Copper pressure plates, to dial in your sound further!

INSTRUCTIONS
“I am truly amazed how well this ligature works! My volume and control become more manageable and my tone much more in-line with what I have been trying to achieve for quite a time.” – Brian Mitchell Brody
“As a professional clarinet player I must say this is the best ligature I have ever played. Everyone I know is switching to it.”
“The freest playing ligature I have ever tried…and I feel like I have tried them all! I love it!”
“The enlightened ligature is the best ligature made. That is why I want to carry them in all our stores!”
“The difference the enlightened ligature makes is really shocking! It’s like pulling a sock out of the bell of my horn.”
“Thank you for the Enlightened ligature. I own every ligature made, but this is particularly outstanding!!” – David Butler
“The Enlightened Ligature is terrific! It helps control the sound, but still allows the mouthpiece to vibrate without choking it off.” – Rick Kessel publisher for SBO, MMR, JAZZed, Choral Director
“I play on this ligature on my Theo Wanne/Westcoast Sax MoFo 110 on Tenor. Works and sounds just as good as it did on the metal Datta 8!.” – Izzy Armstrong
“One of the best ligatures I’ve ever played! love my Theo Wanne. It opened up my tenor sound immensely and is so free I never have to worry about response. I play mainly classical saxophone and I have it for my tenor, but if you guys made one for baritone that could fit Selmers I might have to replace my Ishimori.” – Yoni Kessler
“A while back I asked someone about ligatures….were they worth the money. They replied with a definite yes and that if they were to buy a new one they would consider a Wanne. Well, based on that, I ordered two of your Enlightened versions, one for my Alto/Jody Jazz and Tenor/Otto Link. I must say WOW! Even the guys in the band made comments that the saxes were bright and loud! I use in-ear monitors and the sound was fantastic. I would never have thought that they would make that much difference. My SelmerMKVII Alto was having some difficulty with the palm keys….no problems at all! I had read a review where someone said, “After trying this ligature it was as though someone had pulled a sock out of the bell of my horn!” I could not have said it better! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Enlightened Ligatures!” – JD Smith
“The best ligature for the money spent I have bought. Allows the reed to vibrate the most freely out of all the ligatures I have used over the years.” – Mick Rohzam
