I don't think there is such a thing as a Bliss clarinet setup.
You select a ligature that works well with the mouthpiece and reeds that you are using.
Try out a few clarinet playing friends ligatures to see how they work for you or go to a shop and try what they have.

I used to play a Bliss. I used an M30 with a Rovner Dark and it worked just fine. I eventually gave up on it because the keywork was too fragile and constantly needed adjustment.

Bonade ligs do not last forever. You should be open to anything that works for you. I have a Vandoren that I like after I removed the dimples with a Dremel tool.

If you really liked your Bonade, get another- but be prepared to alter it, as they come somewhat misshaped from what the should be. I've been a "Bonade Guy" since the 1960's, and recently switched to the Vandoren Optimum ligature. Their two-ridged plate (usually the one on the ligature when packaged) pretty much makes the ligature a "Perfect Bonade" set up.

Thanks for all of reply to my post , I have found the setup that I love. It is the yamaha C4 mpc with my own tip opening [ using sand paper ] and rovner versa ligature [ no metal plate inserted and keep the reed touching with the metal ] .

...Sorry for my bad English...

Thank you !!!!!
