 Morgan mouthpiece/Bonade ligature
Author: FrankM 
Date:   2005-12-21 12:32

I just bought a Bonade inverted ligature to give it a try. With the Morgan mouthpiece I use, the Bonade slips forward. No matter what I do, the ligature just slides forward. I tried a Vandoren mouthpiece and the ligature works fine. Does the shape of the Morgan make the Bonade unusable?

I use a Bonade ligature (non-inverted) with my RM-06; works just great!

You might try either roughing up the inside of the ligature with a file, and/or adding a mouthpiece patch on the front of the mouthpiece where the ligature attaches. Several companies ask that you add the patch anyway when you are just testing their mouthpieces so that they are not scratched if you decide to return the item. Hope this helps. It has worked for me.

Bonades can indeed slide.

Joseph Gigliotti had a machined metal reed template on his desk and would use it to reshape the legature. He would press alongside the metalic reed so that the ligature would bend inwards, leaving just a little gap along the side of the reed, but would make good contact elsewhere. Only the raised inserts on the Bonade lig. touched the reed...but the seal was good around the circumference.
I made such a template from aluminum strip (Lowes, Home Depot). The curve is easy to approximate on a bench grinder.
A thin parallel jaw pliers (semi duckbill) works well also. Available in hobby shops

I use black electrical tape between the M/P and the Bonade ligature. Works
fine for me. ( Put the tape on the M/P !!)
