ABSTRACT:
A device for fastening a reed on a mouthpiece of a wind instrument includes two rod members extending essentially parallel to one another, each of the rod members being provided with a plurality of annular grooves. An elongate flexible traction member or string has opposite ends fastened to respective ones of the rod members and is wound partially about the rod members so as to be partially disposed between each of the rod members and the wind instrument mouthpiece. The string is wound in alternation about the rod members so as to define arcs of partial turns having alternating directions. Screws or other adjustment components are connected to the rod members for adjusting a distance between the rod members to thereby vary a winding tension of the string, which is wound about the rod members in the grooves to obviate an exertion of pressure on the string by the rod members, whereby sliding of the string relative to the rod members during adjustment of the distance between the rod members is facilitated.
