Recently on a trip to Europe, I was in Prague. There was a little combo sitting out playing and selling CDs. I noticed the clarinet player had a unique ligature. I would like to get my hands on one and give it a try. Here is a description.
inverted (screws on top)
The top was made of a black plastic similar to a Luyben, The plastic went half way around the mouthpiece and stopped on the sides. Then there were thick bars of plastic on the sides.
The bottom (reed side) was a series of strings running across the the reed and up to the plastic bars. The material for the string was similar to tennis racquet string.
There was no name on it, and because of the language barrier communication was difficult.
If you have ever seen one or know where I may get one, please share.
Pat
