GALILEO is the ultimate ligature for mouthpieces. It is made in Italy as usual at CG Mouthpiece Italy.

GALILEO ligature ensures an extremely homogeneous feeling while playing along the whole range of the horn. It is a real sculpture carved from solid rod of a pure brass alloy (lead free brass without any welding points). Selected material by GC Mouthpiece Italy for its exceptional acoustics attributes, worked following the grain of the metal (method already used by CG Mouthpiece Italy for its fine metal mouthpieces). The upper side of the ligature perfectly wraps the mouthpiece guaranteeing a solid support, then, the design proceeds drawing a light arc shape: like a little leaf spring, GALILEO allows a calibrated pressure of the plate on the reed.

The pressure amount is regulated by a solid brass screw.

The brass screw is fixed by pressure to the plate, without the aid of additional screws or welding points.

The plate, which is also made from a solid brass, is able to follow the shape of the back of the reed, which is not always symmetrical, allowing a solid support of its rails also oriented in the direction of the wood’s grain. The plate rails are tailored to fit the curvature of the reed and do not leave marks on it.

GALILEO revolutionized the meaning of "ligature" because it is not designed to "bind", but to ensure “freedom” to the reed.The overall effect will be the supreme timbre homogeneity, a fast and accurate response of the reed, with the feeling of a single vibrating body made of mouthpiece and reed.

GALILEO vibration for your reed, enjoyment for your soul!

GALILEO AL, la nuova legatura per imboccature, made in Italy. Nasce da una evoluzione della Galileo in ottone di cui mantiene inalterata l’omogeneità timbrica, offrendo però una libertà maggiore all’ancia. Le caratteristiche costruttive sono le medesime della Galileo brass: il corpo della legatura nasce infatti da una barra di alluminio speciale utilizzato nell’industria aerospaziale, selezionato dalla CG Mouthpiece Italy per le sue caratteristiche di flessibilità, leggerezza e nel contempo resistenza. Non per ultime poi per le sue caratteristiche acustiche eccezionali. Vite e placchetta di serraggio dell’ancia sono le stesse della Galileo brass, stesso design e qualità: in ottone sempre ricavate dal pieno e placcate oro 24kt Accuratamente rifinita a mano in ogni sua parte è disponibile in differenti finiture: Vintage AL (corpo in lega di alluminio anodizzato, vite e placchetta in ottone placcati oro 24k - disponibile solo nella misura II) e AL (corpo in lega di alluminio color naturale, vite e placchetta in ottone placcati oro 24k  - disponibile nelle misure IV e VI). Anche per clarinetto nella misura IVcl. Copribocchino incluso.

GALILEO, una vera e propria scultura estratta dal puro ottone, totalmente priva di saldature L'ancia è libera di vibrare in tutta la lunghezza delle fibre della cui disposizione GALILEO tiene conto: nasce infatti da una barra di ottone speciale, selezionato dalla CG Mouthpiece per le sue caratteristiche acustiche eccezionali, e lavorato seguendo le venature del metallo. Metodo che la CG Mouthpiece Italy adotta anche per la lavorazione delle sue pregiate imboccature. Le sue geometrie sono accuratamente studiate per rispondere in modo omogeneo alle vibrazioni dell'ancia e conseguentemente dell'imboccatura. Permette una pressione calibrata della placchetta sull'ancia, pressione che è regolata da una solida vite, sempre in ottone massiccio. La robusta vite è fissata alla placchetta a pressione, senza l'ausilio di viti. La placchetta, anch'essa ricavata da un pezzo pieno di ottone, è snodabile per potersi adattare al non sempre simmetrico disegno del dorso dell'ancia, permettendo così un saldo appoggio dei suoi binari anch'essi disposti nel senso della fibra lignea. Quest'ultimi sono raggiati per potersi adattare alla curvatura dell'ancia e per non lasciare segni su di essa. La misura II in ottone è disponibile in due finiture. Entrambe offrono la tipica omogeneità timbrica delle legature Galileo anche se ognuna possiede una propria peculiarità:

• placcata oro 24 kt: suono ricco, ampio e corposo
• black finishing: suono centrato e proiettivo
