BonadeClarinet Ligatures & Caps - Bb Clarinet - Regular - Ligature Only
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Bonade regular ligature for Bb clarinet, sold without the cap. For players replacing a worn or lost ligature on a standard mouthpiece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a bent or stripped student ligature
- Band players who already own a mouthpiece cap
- Keeping a spare in the case for rehearsals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who also needs a cap — this is the ligature alone
- Bass clarinet or alto clarinet mouthpieces
- Players wanting a fabric or cord-style ligature
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
Ligature Only
No mouthpiece cap in the box. If your cap is missing, the reed is unprotected in the case.
Detail 03
Bb clarinet sizing
Sized to a standard Bb clarinet mouthpiece barrel. It will not close down on a larger bass clarinet mouthpiece.
Detail 04
Metal two-screw design
Two screws let you even out pressure across the reed rather than clamping from one point.
Detail 05
$27.99
Above stock student ligatures, below premium boutique models. A step-up replacement rather than a tone project.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Buy a cap separately if you do not already have one
- 02Confirm your mouthpiece is a standard Bb clarinet size, not bass
- 03Snug the screws only — overtightening warps the reed and the band
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with a cap?
No. This listing is the ligature by itself. Bonade sells cap-and-ligature combinations separately, so order a cap too if yours is lost or damaged.
02What is the difference between regular and inverted?
Regular puts the tightening screws on top of the mouthpiece. Inverted moves them underneath, leaving the reed's upper surface freer. Regular is the more common and more familiar setup.
03Will it fit my mouthpiece?
It is sized for standard Bb clarinet mouthpieces. Unusually large or small mouthpiece bodies may not seat correctly, so check the barrel diameter if yours is not a common model.
04Can I use it on bass clarinet?
No. Bass clarinet mouthpieces are considerably larger. Bonade makes a separate bass clarinet ligature for that.
