Bonade Ligatures Views
Bonade ligatures, designed by world-renowned performer and educator Daniel Bonade, are also available in gold-lacquered models for alto, tenor and soprano saxophone. For many performers, gold-lacquered ligatures help produce subtle and desirable changes in response and sound coloring. What’s more, gold lacquering offers an extra “touch of elegance” to all performances.
The Bb Clarinet Bonade Inverted Ligature is a good, low cost ligature. However, I have had a problem with them not fitting my mouthpiece correctly. They work for a while and then become stripped somehow, and slip up the mouthpiece, no longer holding my reed. Also, one of the Bonades I received had a manufacturing flaw in it (I showed it to my instrument repairman). I gave up finally and switched to the Luyben Clarinet Ligature (very low cost, and good sound quality, great for students because it can't be bent - it's plastic!) and then the Vandoren Optimum (a very pricey alternative, but a wonderful investment if you are serious about the instrument). The most important thing is to try out a whole bunch of ligatures, and pick the one with the best sound.
