Re: The AK clarinet ligature

It’s the ligatures that are plated. The plates that hold the reed are solid brass or solid silver. Seems there‘s been some confusion over “plating” (a surface covering of gold or rhodium on the ligature itself) and “plates” (the metal bits that hold the reed).

The rhodium plated version has been discontinued according to a Facebook posting by the manufacturer:

“We have decided to discontinue all finishes other than 24k Gold Plate for the time being. Silver plating tarnishes too easily (especially on certain hard rubber formulations of mouthpiece).

We had offered Rhodium in the past, but ran into some issues with the Rhodium reacting with solder in the plating process, leading to far too many rejected parts, thus increasing the overall production cost per batch.

So for the time being, and for simplicity's sake, we are only going to offer the 2nd Generation model in 24k Gold.“
