ABSTRACT:
A universal split ring ligature that is versatile enough to fit differing sized mouthpieces. The ligature of the invention accomplishes this by comprising two elongated inverted U-shaped ring retaining bars that have at least one but preferably two or more apertures disposed therein through the vertical side faces of the U-shape ring retaining bars. Multiple sized metallic (or non-metallic equivalent such as plastic, nylon, etc.) rings or bands having concentric apertures disposed in their opposite ends may be inserted within the U-shaped retaining bars and whereby these opposite ends of the multiple sized rings or bands are drawn together by use of suitable thumbscrews penetrating through said cooperating band and U-shaped ring retaining bars' apertures, so as to unyieldingly embrace and clamp a reed that may be disposed between the ring or band and the mouth piece of the wind instrument.
