My alto cap had become sticky and nasty with years of use in the hot Florida heat. I didn’t want to spend $100+ on an whole new lig and cap this was a perfect replacement for my optimum

This is glossy. Not like the original cap (matt) that came with the ligature. The original became sticky after a year. It seems this material won't "melt".

People seem confused, despite the clear descriptions. This is just the cap, you need to get the ligature elsewhere if yours didn't come with one or you lost it.As a cap, it fits perfectly for the intended ligature, mouthpiece and reed.

impeccable rien a dire adapte parfaitement au bec et tien tres bien a tout type de bec
