BonadeSoprano Saxophone Ligatures Lacquer - Inverted - Ligature Only
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Inverted-style lacquered ligature for soprano saxophone. Ligature only, no cap. For players replacing a lost or worn stock ligature.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Soprano sax players replacing a bent or lost ligature
- Students needing a reliable, repeatable reed clamp
- Anyone who prefers screws underneath the mouthpiece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Alto, tenor, or bari players — the diameter is wrong
- Anyone who needs a mouthpiece cap included
- Players wanting maximum reed vibration from a minimal-contact design
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
Two-screw tightening
Lets you balance pressure across the reed. Snug both evenly rather than cranking one down.
Detail 03
Lacquer finish
Thin protective coat over the metal. Resists tarnish but can wear through where you grip it.
Detail 04
Soprano-specific sizing
Cut for the narrow soprano mouthpiece. Larger saxophone ligatures will not clamp down far enough.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No mouthpiece cap included — you keep using your existing one
- 02Ligature sizing varies by mouthpiece brand; measure or test fit first
- 03Do not overtighten; it will warp the band and dampen the reed
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 is the ligature only. You will need to keep or buy a mouthpiece cap separately.
02Will it fit my hard rubber soprano mouthpiece?
Soprano mouthpiece diameters vary between brands and materials. Check your mouthpiece measurement before ordering, since hard rubber often runs slightly larger than metal.
03What does inverted mean?
The tightening screws are positioned under the mouthpiece rather than on top of the reed. Nothing sits above the reed to get bumped.
04Can I use this on my alto sax?
No. It is sized for soprano saxophone mouthpieces. An alto mouthpiece is too large for the band to close around.
