D. BONADE Bass Clarinet Reverse Ligature 2253U Gold I purchased this a few days ago, but I've decided to sell it because I originally use a forward-facing ligature and found that a reverse ligature doesn't suit me. I've only used it for two days. Here's the description from the shop where I bought it: ⤵︎⤵︎⤵︎ This item is a special, discounted item with scratches, as there is a crack in the plating, likely due to metal expansion. BONADE ligatures are designed to concentrate the contact point between the reed and mouthpiece in the center. This brass ligature gathers the reed's vibrations on the two metal rails in the center of the ligature, resulting in rich volume and tone. This is a reverse ligature type, with the screw on the upper side of the mouthpiece (opposite the reed). The gold plate provides a brilliant and powerful tone. ■ For Bass Clarinet ■ Model Number: 2253U GP ■ Reverse Ligature ■ Finish: Gold Plated ※ Mouthpiece cap is not included. - Brand: D.
