Can I use other ligatures on J & D Hite saxophone mouthpieces?
J & D Hite saxophone mouthpieces are furnished with ligatures which are correctly sized and fitted to each mouthpiece. Standard ligatures generally will not fit correctly. The tenor and baritone mouthpieces are streamlined in their outer size. The tenor uses a alto sax size ligature (it is adjusted to fit the appropriate reed), and our baritone mouthpiece uses the standard tenor saxophone size ligature (adjusted to fit the baritone saxophone reed). A standard soprano saxophone ligature may be a bit too large for a Hite soprano mouthpiece.
