The Korena take

A basic screw ligature for alto clarinet mouthpieces. Buy it as a replacement when the original is lost, stripped, or bent.

Product studyLeblanc 2202 Alto Clarinet Ligature

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a lost or damaged stock ligature on a school alto
  • Band directors keeping spare parts in the repair kit
  • Students who need working hardware, not a tone upgrade

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players chasing a tonal change from ligature material or design
  • Bb, bass, or contra clarinet mouthpieces — wrong size
  • Anyone wanting a fabric, leather, or inverted-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 01

Alto clarinet specific

Sized for the larger alto mouthpiece. It will not clamp correctly on a Bb clarinet.

Detail 02

Screw-type clamp

Two-screw tightening. Even pressure across the reed table; easy to adjust with a coin or fingers.

Detail 03

Metal construction

Holds its shape over years of daily band use. Can dent or slip if overtightened.

Detail 04

$25.99

Replacement-part pricing. Cost sits at hardware level, not at boutique accessory level.

Detail 05

Leblanc branded

Cut to fit Leblanc alto mouthpiece dimensions. Verify fit on other makers' mouthpieces before committing.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Mouthpiece cap is not included — order separately if yours is missing
  2. 02Measure your mouthpiece; alto clarinet ligatures vary between makers
  3. 03Overtightening warps the band and creates reed buzz — snug only

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit a Bb clarinet?

No. Alto clarinet mouthpieces are noticeably larger. A Bb mouthpiece will sit loose inside this ligature and fail to hold the reed.

02Does a ligature cap come with it?

No. This is the ligature only. If you also need a cap to protect the reed in the case, buy one separately.

03Will this change my sound?

Barely. A ligature's job is holding the reed flat and consistent. Reed, mouthpiece, and embouchure drive tone far more.

04How tight should I screw it?

Snug enough that the reed does not shift when you play. Past that you flatten the reed and choke the response.
