  • Features

    This ligature has been designed to improve the tone, response, and intonation of woodwind instruments by permitting the reed to vibrate more freely than it can with conventional metal, plastic, or fabric ligatures. It also allows the reed to swell and shrink without distorting the reed body, and, reduces the likelihood of distortion. This ligature will give a free vibration to the reed so that you will have a more even scale, better intonation, and help eliminate sqeakes and raspiness. If properly used, it will be found to provide for a greater playing ease, considerably extend reed life, and fewer rejected reeds. The material used is of the highest quality. The ligature is made of polypropylene, will not break, and has the necessary stretch to permit removing and replacing without the need for tension screw adjustment.


  • Reed Performance
    Reeds which perform well with metal ligatures will perform even better with the patented Robert Vinson "Equa-Tone" ligature. With experimentation of different reeds and adjustments, an even greater, richer tonal quality can be achieved. To yield maximum benefit from this ligature in extending reed life, the reed should be thoroughly moistened and smoothed before playing. You may renew reed life by soaking reed in hydrogen-peroxide once a week for 10 minutes and then rinse.

    The Musicians Speak Out




    "I like your Robert Vinson ligature very much and will recommend it to students and colleagues. I was Clarinet soloist for the "President's Own" Marine Band/White House Orchestra for 21 years and am a former student of Robert Marcellus. Thank you for your fine products"

    Jerry H Rodgers, Asst. Professor of Music
    Cedarville College, Cedarville, OH

    "In my opinion, your ligature is one of the best on the market, I have played on many different ligatures and feel this is a very important part of my equipment. Since my studies with Robert Marcellus at Northwestern University, I have been using an inverted Bonade Ligature with a cut out center. In comparing the two ligatures, yours has superior durability, resonance, and tonal flexibility. I am recommending your ligature to my colleagues and students. Thanks again for your excellant ligature."

    Bradford Behn, Clarinetist
    Tulsa Philharmonic, Tulsa, OK

    "After 45 years, this is the first ligature I am truly happy with!"

    Ronald Balttazar
    Royal Hawaiian Band

    "I am convinced it is the best ligature made for the clarinet ever!"

    Manuel San Luis
    Copperas Cove, Texas

    "I like it! My students could clearly hear the better response of your ligature. Keep up the good work!"

    Dr. George Townsend, Professor of Clarinet
    Western Illinois University, Macomb, IL
