Replacement inverted-style cap for a Bb clarinet ligature. Buy it if you lost or dented the cap that came with your Bonade ligature.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Players replacing a lost or crushed mouthpiece cap
  • Students who need a spare cap in the case
  • Anyone already using a Bonade inverted ligature

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players needing the ligature itself — this is the cap alone
  • Anyone with a standard (non-inverted) Bonade setup
  • Bass, alto, or Eb clarinet players

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 01

Cap only

No ligature in the box. If your ligature is also gone, this alone won't hold a reed.

Detail 02

Inverted design

Sized to clear an inverted ligature, whose screws sit under the mouthpiece rather than on top.

Detail 03

Bb clarinet sizing

Matched to Bb mouthpiece diameter. Other clarinet sizes have different barrel widths and won't seat right.

Detail 04

Bonade fitment

Built around Bonade's own ligature dimensions, so fit on other brands' ligatures is hit or miss.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your ligature is the inverted Bonade version, not the standard one
  2. 02Ligature and reed are not included
  3. 03Check the cap you have now is actually missing, not just misplaced in the case

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with the ligature?

No. This is the cap only. The ligature is sold separately.

02Will it fit a standard Bonade ligature?

It's cut for the inverted version. The standard ligature has screws on top and needs different clearance.

03Will it fit my alto clarinet?

No. It's sized for Bb clarinet mouthpieces.

04Why do I need a cap at all?

It protects the reed tip and mouthpiece rails between playing sessions. A chipped reed tip ruins the reed.
