there are so much choice for the Bb soprano ligature.
how about ligature for the rest of the clarinet family
the Eb, bass, alto and contras.
I'm interested in wat are some of the other ligature you folks used for these clarinets.

I use a Mitchell Lurie "Springboard" for Eb Clarinet.
This ligature has a stupendous general response.
With some of this, is posible to feel too free, and
I have been able to experience with cork until guetting some extraordinary results.

I have a Bonade inverted for bass clarinet. They don't seem to make a cap for it, however. I haven't been able to find anything special for alto clarinet and just use a stock metal ligature.

the only extensive source of ligatures I can think of for the bass and alto are from BG. I use a BG super revelation lig for bass.
The only contra-alto ligature I have seen is the stock matal ligature.

I think one of my Bass ligatures is a Bonade. (It looks like fake-leather and has a thumb-screw on top.) It either came with, or had as an optional accessory, a plastic cap that fits over the ligature.
I obtained a Selmer Contra Bass mouthpiece, and had to special-order a mouthpiece cap and ligature from Selmer. It took quite a while to get the ligature.
I'm not aware of any other kinds of ligatures for Contra. I wonder if it is possible to splice a piece into the Bass Bonade?

I wonder if the baritone Sax ligature would fit a contra-alto, since the contra-alto uses Bari sax reeds. the seem more choice for bari sax ligature.
like wise for bass-sax and contra bass clarinet??

I didn't like the stock ligature that came with my Leblanc contra-alto, so I bought a Rovner ligature and cap.

For bass clarinet ligatures, I use both the Vandoren inverted metal ligature (about $25), and/or the Rovner fabric inverted ligature (similar price). I like them both a lot, and on any given day I might use either one. I use the same type ligatures on B-flat clarinet and tenor sax also.

I personally prefer the Winslow ligature for Alto sax and bigger (Tenor, Bass clarinet, bari, bass sax)

I believe you are talking about Rovner (or possibly BG). Bonade ligatures are metal.

Daniel-
You're right! I stopped by a local music store today, and looked in one of their distributor's catalogs. In line with SeAn's original request, I found a Rovner ligature listed for the BBb Contra Bass Clarinet. It is their model 4RL, per the Harris-Teller wholesale catalog.
I didn't check about caps. It certainly would be a big one for a Rovner on a BBb Contra Bass.
