Leblanc should be ashamed of themselves for marketing their present version of the Bonade ligature.

Unfortunately almost EVERY Bonade ligature needs to be readjusted due to poor quality control by Leblanc. All need to be re-bent (use 2 needle-nosed pliers) to their properly intended shape so the original Bonade design can work correctly.

The 2 long interior rails are the only thing that should be touching the reed. At present, the metal bands touch the outer edges of the reed which totally nullifies the design properties of the ligature.

Let's not even start to discuss the frequently misaligned and poorly soldered interior rails...GBK
