Vandoren Klassik String Bb Clarinet Ligature

Note: This is a Bb Clarinet Ligature.

When I was in youth symphony back in high school, the clarinet section went through a phase where we tied our reeds onto our mouthpieces with "silk rat-tail" cord. We'd get a 2-to-3 foot length of the stuff, and every time we changed (or adjusted) your reeds, we'd have to re-wind the cord and tie it off. Changing a reed took, I dunno, about 25 minutes, so we'd conveniently miss all of the hard A clarinet parts to Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. But we were cool as hell, weren't we?

If self-torture's your thing, here's a link to get yourself enough of the stuff to last multiple lifetimes. For $7.99. With free Prime shipping.

If self-torture is not your thing, but you are interested in trying out the feel of cable, give this Klassik German ligature a try. I know it says it's for German mouthpieces, but trust me: it'll work just fine on your old M30.
