Hi all,
do baritone sax ligatures fit bass clarinet mouthpieces?

Probably. I know a Yamaha bass clarinet and bari mouthpiece take the same size ligature. But bari sax mouthpieces vary wildly in size. A Berg uses a ligature about the size of a soprano clarinet.

Depends, from my 1st hand experience. Most of the ligs that fit hard rubber bari sax mpcs do also fit (French) bass clarinet mpcs, but there are some outliers(I tried one Versa X bari sax lig which was a bit tight on my Fobes bass mpc). Similarly, quite a few hard rubber fit tenor sax ligs also fit alto clarinet or German bass mpcs.

However, if they are made to fit metal/slimline bari sax mpcs then they will NOT fit a bass mpc, no matter French or German.

yes is the answer in some cases. and rubber standard size tenorsax ligs fit alto clarinet which is great as the offerings for alto clarinet is very limited
