Thomas Reil, member of Ensemble Tangette
‘Not only on the B-flat clarinet, but on all of the other instruments in its family as well, the Reedmaster ligature offers tremendous advantages with regard to sound volume and the possibilities of dynamic complexity. On the saxophone, it makes enunciation in the lower range so much easier that it allows you to play in a considerably freer and more carefree way. I’m very grateful to the developers!’

Christoph Müller, principal clarinettist in the Bamberg Symphony
‘The newly developed ligature from REEDMASTER marks a major advance in its area. It offers easy handling and allows precise adjustment of the reed in the mouthpiece. I especially appreciate its positive effect on the sound: the tone is warm but also centred, the articulation clear and direct. Ideal conditions for bringing out the best in the clarinet in the orchestra, in chamber music and in solo performances.’
Prof. Günter Voit

‘Reedmaster ligatures can perceptibly improve your enunciation and the brilliance of your sound. The reeds just respond better! The ligatures allow you to play the high register on the clarinet with much greater stability!’
Prof. Hubert Winter
We put great stock in our customers’ opinions:
‘The Reedmaster ligature is a valuable innovation on the woodwind hardware market. It changes the instrument’s playing and sound characteristics noticeably, giving you a more direct, more centred connection with your own sound. This is likely because of the optimised vibration transmission. I can recommend the ligature without reservation and I’m excited about the developments yet to come from Reedmaster.’
Prof. Detlef Bensmann
We put great stock in our customers’ opinions:
‘The saxophone and clarinet ligatures designed by Walter Lauermann are to be recommended, both for the sound they make possible and for the ease of fixing the reed in place. In terms of sound, because they support saxophones’ fundamental tones, which tend to be overtone-heavy. And in terms of teaching, because the way the reed is inserted in the ligature especially helps beginners to correctly set it in place; and fixing the reed in this way helps to prevent it from being damaged.’
Thomas Lampert
We put great stock in our customers’ opinions:
Thomas Lampert, principal clarinettist of the Würzburg Philharmonic Orchestra and instructor at the University of Music Würzburg
‘When Gerhard Cäsar first introduced his new ligature to me, I was rather sceptical. With the wealth of different products now available, I was sure all the possibilities had been exhausted and no more big innovations were to be expected… How wrong I was! From the first tests onwards, I didn’t want to let go of the ligatures. The response and sound development were breathtaking! Since then, through use in the orchestra, this has only been confirmed. Incidentally, this innovation also demonstrates outstanding workmanship. I can’t recommend it highly enough!’
