Innovative design features by Amano Wudd

Over the years Wudd was able to develop new innovative features such as alterations to mouthpieces (which have been used by the US company Rovner as Deep V - mouthpiece), ligatures (the reed holding device) and reeds, including 'orthopaedically' improved hangers for woodwind instruments called the Wudd Twin Strap, which evenly distributes and supports the weight of instruments normally placed on the player's neck in an orthopaedically unacceptable way.
