Re: Bonade ligature damage

Or just toss the Bonade and get a Vandoran Optimum which has an insert with parallel rails that will play just like the old Bonade but will not bend out of shape and scrape the side rails. FWIW, I've tried some of the newer Bonades on my Bb mpcies and they scratch and slip all over the place. Curiously, a "vintage" Bonade from my college days does not slip although it still needs constant readjustment because the sides tend to bend and touch the side rails. Newer Bonades seem to be made differently somehow--maybe cheaper?? Anyhow, I use Vandys instead, on my sopranos and my bass clarinet Grabner mpc. Works great!!!
