News 2017: Galileo sax ligature size II now also available in brass
2017 will be a year full of news from CG Mouthpiece Italy!
First among these is the new ligature for saxophone in the measure II (2): today will be available as well as special aluminum also brass. The aluminum version (Galileo AL II) provides incredible freedom to the reed and greatly simplifies the issue especially during the attack of the sound.
I remember that the measure II is suitable for metal mouthpieces CG Mouthpiece Italy andGuardala models (handmade and laser trimmed) or of similar size.
The new brass version (Galileo brass II) while maintaining the typical tonal homogeneity of CG’s ligatures, it offers an incomparable harmonic richness and simplifies the sound control: a focused sound but absolutely not “thin.”
Due to the results of our tests, also confirmed by the feedback received concerning the subtle tonal differences between the various finishes, we decided to produce our new Galileo 24 kt gold plated and also lacquered black. Here are the differences:
- 24 kt gold plated: rich sound, full-bodied
- black finishing: focused sound and projective
Galileo brass II is now available on the site CG Mouthpiece Italy and soon in all of our dealers!
