Bass Clarinet Ligature Peter Spriggs

Peter Spriggs
Ligature for Bass Clarinet
Floating Rails Ligature

A clarinet-specific ligature featuring a floating rail mechanism, developed by Peter Spriggs, a master repairman with exceptional skills and the Canadian representative for the International Clarinet Association (ICA).
The floating (suspension) system, where the two rails in contact with the reed move independently, provides excellent reed response and produces a clear tone without hindering reed vibration. This system, which utilizes the reed's characteristics, alters the sound's resonance and reverberation.
The Floating Rails Ligature is currently favored by professional musicians in major orchestras worldwide, including the New York Philharmonic.
