Detail 01
Inverted screw placement
Tightening hardware sits under the mouthpiece instead of over the reed, leaving the reed's vibrating surface less loaded.

BGSuper Revelation Ligatures Bb Clarinet
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Bb clarinet ligature with inverted screw hardware, for players replacing a stock band-issue ligature and wanting more consistent reed contact.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Clarinetists upgrading from the ligature that came with the horn
- Players chasing more reed response without changing mouthpiece
- Students whose stock ligature slips or dents reeds
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass clarinet players — this is the Bb size only
- Anyone happy with their current reed response
- Players needing a ligature that fits a metal mouthpiece shank
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
Bb clarinet sizing
Cut for a standard Bb clarinet mouthpiece body. It will not stretch to bass clarinet or alto sax.
Detail 03
Screw-tightened design
You set the clamping pressure yourself. Snug is enough; over-torquing chokes the reed and flattens response.
Detail 04
Around $61
Sits above stock metal ligatures and below premium hand-fitted models, so it's a first upgrade rather than an endgame purchase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ligature only. Mouthpiece, reed and cap are separate.
- 02Confirm your cap still slides over the mouthpiece with this ligature fitted.
- 03Measure or check your mouthpiece — non-standard blanks may not seat correctly.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my clarinet mouthpiece?
It's cut for standard Bb clarinet mouthpieces. Unusual or oversized blanks may not seat properly, so check your mouthpiece dimensions before ordering.
02What does inverted mean here?
The screws are positioned on the underside of the mouthpiece rather than on top of the reed, so the clamping hardware doesn't press directly on the reed's vibrating area.
03Does it work on bass clarinet?
No. Bass clarinet mouthpieces are larger and need the bass clarinet version of this ligature.
04How tight should I make the screws?
Just enough to stop the reed sliding. Extra pressure damps the reed and makes response duller, not more secure.
