ABSTRACT:
An adjustable ligature or reed-holding device for mounting a reed on the mouthpiece of a woodwind instrument is disclosed. It includes a frequency adjusting member having a number of limited contact edges or points with the reed, a clamp for holding the adjusting member in a position between the reed and the clamp, and a position locking member fixed with respect to the adjusting member and extending through a relatively wide longitudinal slot in the surface of the clamp. The position locking member can be moved both along and across the slot and the clamp itself can also be moved with respect to the reed thereby permitting a greater combination of easily effected positional adjustments of the adjusting member with correspondingly increased flexibility in adjusting the tonal qualities of the woodwind instrument.
