Detail 01
Inverted screw placement
Screws sit under the mouthpiece, so the clamping hardware stays off the reed's vibrating surface.

BGSuper Revelation Ligatures Bass Clarinet
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A bass clarinet ligature with inverted screw hardware, sized for the larger bass mouthpiece. For players replacing a stock or worn ligature.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bass clarinetists replacing a stretched or bent stock ligature
- Doublers who want matching hardware across clarinet sizes
- Players fighting inconsistent low-register response
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bb soprano clarinet players — wrong size entirely
- Anyone whose current ligature holds the reed securely
- Players on non-standard or vintage bass mouthpiece blanks
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Bass clarinet sizing
Built for the wider bass clarinet mouthpiece. It is not interchangeable with the Bb soprano version.
Detail 03
Screw tightening
Big bass reeds move a lot of air. Clamp only enough to hold position; more pressure kills low-end response.
Detail 04
Around $96
Roughly 50 percent more than the Bb version, which tracks the larger body and hardware rather than a different design.

Know before you order
- 01Ligature only. No mouthpiece, reed or cap included.

- 03Bass mouthpiece blanks vary; verify fit against your specific mouthpiece.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the same as the Bb clarinet version?
No. Same design and inverted screw layout, but sized for the larger bass clarinet mouthpiece. The two are not interchangeable.
02Why does it cost more than the soprano model?
It's a physically larger ligature with correspondingly larger hardware to wrap the bass clarinet mouthpiece.
03Will my cap still fit?
Usually, but caps have limited clearance. Test with your own cap and mouthpiece before relying on it in a case.
04Can I use it on alto or contrabass clarinet?
It's cut for bass clarinet. Other sizes have different mouthpiece diameters and need their own ligature.
