Re: Your top few accessories

By far the most important accessory I've had (and I'm somewhat reluctant to give this information away) is called the "Ackawatha", which is the rarest of the old, original ligatures for jazz players in America. Oddly enough it was produced in the UK. So far as I know there are none made today, and because eagles are protected in the US, the feathers essential to the design are virtually impossible to obtain legally. Without them, the ligature lacks the special 'lift' and power to the sound, which distinguished the originals. There is a good illustration of it in a clarinet book published in 1961 by MacGibbon & Kee, London, on page 66.

As far as the price....you couldn't afford it. And it's worth every penny.
