Alpo Posted July 16, 2024 Posted July 16, 2024 Past or present, I don't care. The bracket that you held your reed on with. Do you have the screws on the reed side? Or on the back side? I always had it on the reed side. But there were a couple people in band that had it on the other side. And occasionally I will see someone playing one on television or in a movie and they will have it on the backside. I've never been able to find out if there was any advantage to that. There is a disadvantage. Sliding the mouthpiece cover on, with the screws on the backside means you have to have the cover run down the reed. Good chance of damaging it. With the screws on the front side, the cover slides down the solid back of the mouthpiece, and doesn't touch the reed.

Never knew the name of that thing before. Looked it up, and found this. https://jennyclarinet.com/2020/06/lets-talk-about-ligatures-the-complete-guide/ Very interesting.
