I wondered if I might show you the ligature from my old E.J. Albert clarinet (made in 1919-ish)? It's the plain metal kind but it works well on this one clarinet with its original mp.

I think the clarinet was owned by a professional musician, but I imagine in the 1920s that was not such a rarified profession as it is now. I suppose at that time every small town must have had a dance hall and a small theatre, both with regular live music. My clarinet really looks as though it was used until it basically fell apart, and then was sold.

You can see from the photos of the ligature that it has been tightened so much that it split, and the plating has worn off the screws from years of use.

I polished the flat section with metal polish and it shines like silver, but I have no idea what it actually is.

I love that the clarinet saw so much use. I wonder how many dances, and dates, and engagements went on, while this clarinet provided the romantic atmosphere!
