Does clarinet ligature matter?
The answer is YES.
The sound is generated through the vibrations both of the mouthpiece and the reed, therefore the ligature is a key piece holding both together. The vibrations between the mouthpiece, the ligature and the reed make the notes easier, cleaner and faster to articulate.
What is a ligature for a clarinet?
A ligature is a device which holds a reed onto the mouthpiece of a single-reed instrument such as a saxophone or clarinet. The ligature must secure the reed firmly against the table of the mouthpiece while allowing it to vibrate freely.
How tight should a clarinet ligature be?
The "proper" firmness of a ligature is roughly the equivalent of holding the reed with your thumb on the mouthpiece.
