New-and-improved Luyben Ligatures
Introduced in 1965, the Luyben ligature has been a popular choice for American clarinetists for decades. Today, Luyben ligatures are raised to an even higher standard using new, uber-accurate technology: precise computer machining. Incorporating CAD/CAM technology, this ligature’s body is constructed from non-abrasive plastic, which prevents reed damage such as crushing and warping. Next, metal screws are added as a means of fastening the ligature to the mouthpiece and to give players a customized feel. Clarinetists at Sweetwater particularly appreciate the Luyben ligature’s warm, natural sound, which is facilitated by sound posts that are designed to place equal pressure and freer reed vibration. Whether you’re a longtime patron of Luyben or are simply seeking a new accessory, the Luyben ligature is an outstanding ligature for any seasoned clarinetist!
