JodyJazz Power Ring Ligature & Cap - Hand Hammered Gold Plate

These Hand-Hammered Gold Plated Power Rings are the perfect accompaniment to the JodyJazz Hand-Hammered mouthpieces

The Hand-Hammered Gold Tenor Mouthpiece and this Power Ring together make for one of the most stunning-looking setups that we offer.  

What is the POWER RING™ Ligature?

The all-new JodyJazz POWER RING™ Ligature improves upon the original JodyJazz Ring Ligature with an all-new design that provides both a significant improvement in performance and greatly enhanced visual appeal. Taking the essence of his original ring ligature design, Jody Espina has added greater thickness and heft together with more pronounced side curves and extremely contoured edges both top and bottom. Jody developed the original ring ligature to provide an elegant solution to the problem with ligatures that dampen the vibration of the reed. Like the original ring ligature, the new POWER RING’s™ self-locking CNC machined taper touches on three points only; the left and right side of the reed and on top of the mouthpiece. There are no moving or added parts, thereby increasing the efficiency of vibration. The increased mass and greater wall thickness of the new POWER RING Ligature, together with its more contoured shape, provides a more solid contact with the reed at the points where they touch. This allows the most freedom and vibration of the reed which in turn also increases the amount of harmonics present, allowing the fullest saxophone sound containing high, mid and low frequencies. 

Increasing the efficiency of vibration. 

The best saxophone ligatures allow the reed the most freedom to vibrate. The more vibration there is from the reed, the more harmonics will be present in the saxophone sound, but increasing the efficiency of the reed's vibration will also make the mouthpiece feel easier to blow and provide more power. This was the goal for the new POWER RING™ Ligature and it is exactly what it achieves.

Choosing The Right Size

The Jody Jazz Hand Hammered Power Ring is currently only available in the HRT1 size. This will fit on the Jody Jazz Hand Hammered tenor mouthpiece, but will also fit onto the HR*, Custom Dark, DV HR, Jet and Giant tenor mouthpieces. This Power Ring will also fit on some other brands of mouthpieces, although we strongly suggest contacting us first to check if it will be suitable for your mouthpiece.

Please Note: The Power Ring is designed to be used with standard cane reeds. Because of this, the Power Ring might not work with certain synthetic reeds (even if the recommended size has been selected). This is because synthetic reeds can differ in thickness depending on the brand. If you're not sure if the Power Ring will work with your reed & mouthpiece setup, please email us at help@sax.co.uk and we'll do our best to find out for you.
