RE: Bass Clarinet Ligature(s)

I have a tenor sax and a bass clarinet and buy tenor reeds and bass reeds. I don't see a difference between the two reeds. Side by side they sure look and play the same to me. A lot of people have written that they are not the same but darn if I can tell the difference.

As to tenor ligature, it really depends on the mouthpiece sizes but I don't think you will find a good fit. Why not try a flat shoe lace as a ligature and see it you like it better than what you are using. Also, when next you find yourself heading to the music stores take your bass mp and ask if they have an "old ligature bin" in their repair department (repair people never throw anything away), you may find a good fit.
