“I have been using the Silverstein Ligatures since before joining the Orchestra in 2021 and have been my go to ligatures for both the Clarinet as the Bass Clarinet! With the Hexa that I am playing now, I have the feeling that the sound is more compact and lets me blow the Air through the Instrument more freely. I highly recommend the product to other Clarinetists as well!”
