Ultimate Clarinet Ligatures of 2021 - Ligatures Reivew - Clarinet U

[@alexkochoff3729]

I like and use the Charles Bay ligature. Charles Bay was my clarinet teacher.

Cool

I have a fantastic gold plated Charles Bay tenor sax ligature. It is beautiful and works perfectly..

Use a BG equivalent at the moment, but just saw an all silicone ligature (no tightening screws) which I purchased a few days ago. Will be over a week before it gets here. Sounds like it will be a bit mellow since it's popular among the jazz scene. Still, we shall see. :)

Many thanks for the review. #enjoyplaying and 🎼🎶🎶

They never reviewed a standard 2 screw ligature

You should review the new LIBRE clarinet ligature sold on ebay

[@grantkoeller8911]

Please try out a hand tied piece of string , like they used in Germany in the 1890's to the 1930's, on the Wurlitzer clarinets. I have used hand tied nylon cord for 10 years straight, and there is a reason why silverstein is basically trying to recreate the response of a piece of Nylon cord, because it works!

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

Using "shoelaces" to tie the reed is always a default option. But although it keeps the reed in place, the "shoelace" has three drawbacks: a) it's the most complicated and slowest setup when the players must replace the reed; b) it does not amplify the harmonics, so the instrument's projection is limited and the tone is darker; c) can't solve intonation issues when the reed is less than perfect. Metal ligatures were invented to help players to fix many of intonation issues, project more, hear new types of tone colours, and to change reeds more accurately and quickly.

[@grantkoeller8911]

Using hand tied string does not affect intonation. That is purely a matter of the mouthpiece placement on the neck cork, and the individual player's embouchure.

@@zvonimirtosic6171 A hand tied piece of Nylon cord can be as brilliant as a metal ligature any day.

[@grantkoeller8911]

@@zvonimirtosic6171 2 screw metal ligatures, made from brass or German silver(a type of nickel) were not invented to help player fix intonation issues. they were the second ligatures available after hand tied silk waxed cord. They were invented as part of the industrial revolution.

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

​@@grantkoeller8911 I know these things better than you, young man. 1 in 5 tries of tying the reed correctly with a piece of string will produce good enough seal and no skewing of the reed. The process is long-winding and prone to small misalignment errors. The metal ligature, which presses the entire length at the same time and keeps the reed in place, solves this problem.

Next time please include price information, availability, & shipping costs, (where you can get them.)

Interesting review. I wish you wouldn't have the music in the background. It makes it a little hard to hear you talk.

[@marcusdickerson3016]

you should review the new DICKERSON RESONATOR LIGATURE FOR CLARINET SOLD ON EBAY

[@grantkoeller8911]

A ligature review by just talking? We wanted to hear each one, you could have played a standard musical piece over and over with each ligature.

[@Feragamotv]

same , i look all time and wait when he will play every ligature and test , lmao trash content

[@hilariochi8637]

Grant Koeller should really calm down. They did a good job

[@grantkoeller8911]

I am calm, as always, just enjoying my hot black coffee.
