Clarinet Ligature (2250U)

I used one of these for the 4 years of college, 25 years ago. Replaced with this. Nothing. Absolutely nothing I can do will keep it on the mouthpiece. Slides right up. I am not a beginner player, but this thing is useless. I’m going to go back to my tarnished 30 year old one.

I love these! I have all my student upgrade to them after they have been playing for a year or so depending on the student. This creates the perfect pressure across the front of the reeds and taking it off the sides of the reed.2 things/warnings1. The new reverse Bonade ligatures - the plating is a very cheep slippery metal of some sort - this is easily fixed by taking sand paper to the inside of the ligature (side that touches the plastic) and just ruffing up the surface.2. DOES NOT include a reed cap - I have my students (A) use the metal ones that came with their cheep ligatures, (B) purchase the reed cap that goes with it - $23 I think or (C) you can make a reed cap out of duck tape that works just as well.

works

This is a definite upgrade to the original "student" quality ligature. I did not expect to hear such a difference in sound quality.

There are people out there who go on as if your choice in ligatures could not possibly make that much difference, or who claim that the differences are only psychological. I could not disagree more. I really like this ligature, especially for the occasional reed that does not seem bright enough. It's not the only ligature that I use, but I like it very much.

Works very well for me. Reed vibrates freely. Easy to use. Yes, it does take getting used to the way the little bolts work (I do top, then bottom, then top again) and that can take some finger strength but if you do it right it stays in place. Can't beat the price and the sound is free.

I have used the Bonade inverted ligature for 36 years. My teacher in college, Donald Montanaro, recommended them to his students. They were the best ligature out there. The one I am currently using is older than 10 years old and I acquired it from the Army Band before retiring. As the silver plating is beginning to tarnish, I decided to order one online for the first time. Apparently however they are coasting off of reputation and tradition. There is a lack of quality control by the manufacturer. They aren't shaped properly and slip up on the mouthpiece rendering them useless. I should have read the reviews more thoroughly before ordering this item, because I'm not the first person noticing this problem. It is a worthless prop, maybe I can use it to clamp a radiator hose or something. I hear you can find a good one in person by rooting through a bunch of them, but that shouldn't be necessary. Time to try something different I guess.

Very good sounding ligature. The only problem is that it tends to fall off the mouthpiece when I take the mouthpiece off the clarinet.

Precio razonable.pero no es plateada, es niquelada

Love this ligature. Easy solution to it sliding, as some have mentioned. I just rough up the inside metal of the ligature so the burrs catch the reed and stop the ligature from moving. Trick I learned from my clarinet teacher.

大した腕もない初心者なのですが、リガチャーの正逆は気になっていました。まだまだテスト中です。ただ、締める部分の指の当る所がやや大きいため、軽々と締められます。

悪くはないのですが、３０年前からかわりなかったです。何かしらの進歩を期待したので、評価が下がりました。

今まで純正品(付属)を使用していましたが、期待通りの音質になりました。
