Artist performers, teachers and students are finding that a J & D Hite ligature enhances the sound and feel of their instruments ... gives them an extra bit of freedom and security. A wisely selected clarinet ligature can add a new dimension to the performance of your instrument-mouthpiece-reed combination. Experienced players never stop searching for better equipment, even "micro" improvements, which will add to ease and stability in performance. In addition to reeds and mouthpieces, ligatures make a critical contribution.
