The Hyperion Ligature
Artistic Improvisation is a bold endeavour, we’ve created a ligature for the modern virtuoso. The Hyperion ligature affords an honest connection to the sound, enhancing both tactile and sonic feedback. Styled by the award winning Vert Design Studio, striking classic looks actually enhance performance while accentuating the natural beauty of the saxophone. Every curve bolsters an acoustic function, creating an accessory that truly sounds as good as it looks.
Tactile elegance in every turn.
Bespoke, cast brass hardware not only lends beauty, but strength. Providing superior mechanical advantage, the mid-century inspired accents afford a tactile elegance. As illuminated by chief designer Andrew Simpson, “good design invites use, it encourages us to engage in aspirational behaviors.” The ritual of changing reeds is an integral part of practice, the Hyperion ligature has made it more satisfying.
The Sound of Brass.
Its natural strength and resilience allow for an honest connection, mechanically and sonically. The natural brass vibrates freely and without coloration, enhancing the natural beauty of your sound. We’ve developed a reed bed that creates an unparalleled airtight seal without sacrificing resonance or tonal clarity. It’s reassuring, secure, and it sings.
Function meets form.
In the studio or on the stage, the mouthpiece cap is an essential companion for a great ligature. Soft and durable, the Hyperion cap integrates securely onto the ligature, protecting your reed from bumps and your mouthpiece from scratches. Safety never looked so good.
Inspired by mid-century jazz icons, 1950s automotive styling, and retro-futuristic science fiction.
