Hello! Could any of you tell me the differences between ligatures? How
important is one for a good sound? I never thought about ligatures until I
visited colleges last summer and fall, when I saw that most of the clarinet
majors did not have plain old metal ones with the screws facing them, but
black hard plastic ones with the screw(s) away from them. I asked my
teacher about ligatures and she said that they don't really effect your
tone/sound that much, but that because I'm going to be a big college music
major this fall, I should probably get myself a fancy new ligature. She
said that a lot of the top professional players use something called a
Bonade Inverted. Explanarse, por favor!
