Developed by celebrated clarinetist and music educator Daniel Bonade, Bonade ligatures have been a staple of professional players since their initial release in 1957. Made from nickel-plated metal with a 2-screw closure, the Bonade 2254 inverted Alto Saxophone Ligature is crafted to hold a reed firmly in place while allowing it to vibrate freely across its length and width, thereby improving tone and expanding the dynamic range of your instrument. This enduring design is beloved by saxophonists at Sweetwater, who appreciate its incredible performance as well as its elegant appearance. Treat your sax to a classic with the Bonade 2254 Alto Saxophone Ligature.
