Re: Legere soprano on clarinet

No problem Second Try........we are ALL on the same page.

I am currently using Legere Signature Soprano Saxophone reeds on Bb clarinet as well. Rather than get even wordier, I just plowed ahead with what I have been using that HOLDS them well on the mouthpiece, and (for what it's worth) seemed to allow the reeds to work best (there are a bunch of ligatures that hold ok but just don't allow the reeds to resonate well).

The problem I ran into with Eb ligatures is that many of them are just TOO small. It is worth looking (really looking) for ligatures that offer a German mouthpiece option since those mouthpieces are narrower and the corresponding ligature is smaller but not......microscopic.
