Selected User Reviews For Bonade Alto Saxophone Ligature (2254U)
Inverted ligatures are something I use on my Bb clarinet, and I thought maybe my son would enjoy using one on his alto saxophone as well. Due to the angle of the ligature with the reed in place, the screws do not reach the other side as well, so you cannot tighten it, and this is on a However, it is way too small to read alto sax, even though the ligature clearly says so. A similar one had been purchased for his tenor sax as well, and that The update for 5/18/14 is as follows In light of the fact that this company does not offer refunds, I returned the ligatures for an exchange. Below is a photo of the replacement they sent me. When it came out of the box, we saw it was twisted out of shape. This item probably belongs to someone else that returned it. The hassle of packing up all the stuff and trying again makes me think I may not bother. There is absolutely no reason to place an order with this company.
A Bonade Alto Sax Ligature was exactly what I needed to make my instrument sound amazing. This allows me to get a better sound because it holds my reed tightly This was my second hard drive because the first one was old and sluggish. I occasionally had trouble with my reeds slipping down. You don't want that when you're performing a solo or in a concert! The only thing I had to adjust to was that the turn screws were on the left side and I am right-handed. The ones on my right were the same as the ones on my other one. Fortunately, the situation has been resolved. I figured it would be good exercise for my left hand! Yes, I could use my right hand, but I enjoy You now know what you need to do.
Since I was a child, I used this product. I asked my son for an "upside down" ligature when he started band this fall. This is one he loves and I got it for him. Considering how cheap and sturdy they are, they seem to be pretty good. It's possible to spend a great deal more, but I'm not sure which ones hold the reed much better. Metal ligatures always seem to be more stable as I retune my instrument because they seem to move very little.
As a decently priced ligature for my secondary instrument, this item was purchased on the advice of my music professor. I received it in a very well-packaged plastic box, but it was terribly bent out of shape, so I had to bend it over my mouthpiece to make it work again. A new mouthpiece may help fix this issue. However, the screw is still very loose and does not sit tight on the mouthpiece well.
The product is great and the price is fair.
As a result of a fault with the original ligature purchased in 1970, one of the pressure bars broke off. A well-known name in saxophone ligatures, this is an old name that I believe has gained respect over the years.
The ligature is beautiful and I love it. My daughter plays it on clarinet and alto sax, and I play it on tenor sax and C- type flute A melodic melody. The reed can vibrate freely in this cap. The fitting is perfect, the tension is right. This ligature is really great for beginners and intermediates, but I know a few professional players who also love it.
In my opinion, the push is better. Ligatures that cost a lot of money have never appealed to me. A bonade has been my go-to since the 80s and I always end up using.
