Curiosity only. The last time I went shopping for ligatures was in the
early 80s. I wouldn't bother looking for another ligature if it weren't
for the one I have now being a little bent up after someone closed the
case without moving the ligature to a safe spot. Over 25 years I had
that ligature - moral of the story is to never let other people touch
your instruments.

Speaking of age, the mouthpieces for the ligature are very old Woodwind
C8s. Anyone remember those?

regards,
Jason
