Review: This is an excellent ligature for the clarinet. - I am a retired band director and perform regularly in all kinds of musical groups from concert bands to jazz bands. I have taught clarinet throughout my entire career. Here is my impression of the D'Addario H-Ligature. I haven't had the clarity of sound and the response from the reeds in quite a few years. This ligature gives the reed the freedom and opportunity to clearly produce quality sound on all the pitches from low E to super C. Compared to the original H designed clarinet ligature, it is pretty nice. It is a bit bulkier with the "H" shape design that rests on the reed. My memory of the original H designed ligature was that it was a bit finer it its detail. But, it has been quite a few years since I used one of those. If you are looking for a good response of your reed across the entire spectrum of the clarinet pitch range, this ligature is a good choice.
Review: Excellent Lig for Otto Link STM - I purchased this ligature to use on an old Florida Link that I purchased in the early '70s. So far, I like the way it functions, and seems to affect the sound in a positive manner. (Ligatures do make a difference although not as major a difference as some folks state.). I had to shape the lig on the mouthpiece by setting it up with a reed and then tightening the screws to force lig to fit the contours of the mouthpiece. After that process, the lig lines up perfectly and I see no need to put cork or anything alongside the ridge on top. I have only used it for a few weeks so I cannot attest to its durability over time. The price seems reasonable for what you are getting and compared to other ligs. I have used a Rovner on the Link as well but I often had a problem with the reed slipping when adjusting the mouthpiece. No problem with this H-Lig.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an excellent ligature for the clarinet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's free-blowing and it makes minimal contact with the reed which allows for a good amount of vibration and excellent response
*by S***G on December 22, 2016*

I'm currently using this ligature on a Beechler Bellite 8 alto sax mouthpiece. While not tight-fitting, it does fit and hold the reed in place. I believe this is the setup used by Eric Marienthal! This is the standard-issue ligature for the Jody Jazz Jet mouthpiece, and a majority of my usage has been on that piece. It's free-blowing and it makes minimal contact with the reed which allows for a good amount of vibration and excellent response. For the most part, I believe most ligatures are the same regardless of what the manufacturer touts, but I most certainly can tell a difference between this and the Rovner I typically use on my Beechler. This ligature is brighter and the response is much greater. It's a great ligature for the price and I do highly recommend!
