Woodwind Mouthpieces & Ligatures

The mouthpiece and ligature are two of the most important components in a clarinet or saxophone player’s setup. Together with the reed, they play a major role in shaping tone, response and articulation.

At Turramurra Music we stock a wide range of mouthpieces and ligatures for clarinet and saxophone from trusted brands like Vandoren, Selmer, Yamaha and more, used by students, teachers and professional performers. Whether you're upgrading from a standard student mouthpiece, experimenting with a different sound, or replacing a worn ligature, choosing the right setup can make a noticeable difference to response, projection and overall tone.

Choosing the right mouthpiece depends on the style of music and the level of the player. Beginner mouthpieces (such as the AS4C or CL4C) typically have a smaller tip opening, which makes them easier to control and helps produce a focused, stable tone. As players develop, they may explore mouthpieces with larger tip openings or different internal designs to achieve greater projection, flexibility and tonal colour.

Ligatures hold the reed firmly against the mouthpiece while still allowing it to vibrate freely. They are commonly made from metal, fabric, leather or composite materials and can subtly affect response and articulation depending on how they contact the reed.

Whether you're buying your first mouthpiece for school band, upgrading your clarinet or saxophone setup, or searching for a specific ligature design, our team can help you find the right option.
