Re: The AK clarinet ligature

I've never been able to use ligatures with a relatively large, protruding tension knob directly over the reed because I like to hold the clarinet relatively close to my chest while playing, and the knob annoyingly brushes against my chin. Players who like to hold the clarinet further away from the chest would not find the knob placement a problem. For me to use the AK, it would have to come in an inverse model that puts the knob on the opposite side of the mouthpiece away from the reed.

I don't see any mention of an inverse AK model on the Kessler website. Many today prefer the simplicity and lightness of the Vandoren M/O and M/O hybrid ligatures, and the AK by contrast looks complicated and heavy. But, of course, appearances can be deceiving.
