Bb clarinet ligature The Rico Bb clarinet ligature is designed to provide reliable performance and excellent value for student and advancing clarinettists. Manufactured by D'Addario Woodwinds, it features a nickel-plated finish and an inverted two-screw design that helps distribute pressure evenly across the reed. At the heart of the design is Rico's four-point pressure system, which applies equal pressure to the reed for improved vibration and response. That design combined with its durable nickel-plated construction, the RCL1LN provides dependable performance and long service life, making it a practical replacement or upgrade for standard Bb clarinet mouthpieces. Four-point pressure system The Rico ligature uses an innovative four-point contact system to apply balanced pressure across the reed. This allows the reed to vibrate more freely while maintaining a secure fit, helping players achieve a clear, consistent tone and reliable articulation. Inverted two-screw design The inverted twin-screw mechanism positions the screws on the opposite side of the reed, allowing quick adjustment while maintaining even pressure. This traditional yet effective design makes fitting and aligning the reed straightforward for developing players and experienced musicians alike. Durable nickel-plated construction The nickel-plated finish provides excellent resistance to everyday wear while giving the ligature a professional appearance. Designed to fit most standard hard rubber Bb clarinet mouthpieces, it is built to withstand regular use in classrooms, rehearsal spaces and concert venues.
