Balthasar Hens String-Ligature-System

The STRING-LIGATURE- SYSTEM is characterized by its optimal vibration and sound
properties. By stringing the ligature with a double-bass string the entire system
becomes a resonator.
When fitted precisely, the STRING-LIGATURE- SYSTEM improves the attack sound and
overtones of your mouthpiece-reed combination. Due to the long tension adjustment
screw and the variable length of the strings the ligature fits easily on all types and sizes
of mouthpiece.
If you set the ligature higher, towards the window edge, you can give more strength to

Bonade - Inverted Bass Clarinet - Nickel

A bad ligature can spoil a good reed on a good mouthpiece by binding the sides of the reed, thus preventing the reed from vibrating freely. The Bonade ligature employs this principle by means of "pressure ribs", which hold the reed securely at points just off-center of the reed, allowing the reed's edges to vibrate freely. As a result, more reeds are playable with this ligature. Another advantage is that 20 to 30 percent more tone may be produced, for greater carrying power.
