*Please note: I have several of these available, so you may not get the exact one pictured, however they are all in comparable condition, both functionally, and cosmetically. They all come with only one pressure plate, and it is the type shown on the example for all of them. If you wish to purchase more than one, there is no additional shipping charge.
T
his listing is for a Vandoren Optimum Bb soprano clarinet ligature.
This ligature was designed with three interchangeable reed plates for customizing your sound. Unfortunately I only have the one plate that is currently installed on it. I'm sure you could purchase a replacement set of the plates from Vandoren if you wanted to. To be honest, I wouldn't bother though. I like these ligatures a lot (and use them personally) but I've never really noticed any major difference between the various plates. They just work well for other reasons, primarily the manner in which they tighten. The single screw design applies even upward pressure on your reed via the reed plate, resulting in an excellent seal of reed to the mouthpiece table.
This ligature is in excellent, lightly used condition. It has not been bent out of shape, or otherwise damaged, and the screw functions perfectly. The silver plate finish is quite tarnished, but it actually looks really cool I think...it almost looks like black nickel. It would clean up easily enough if you don't dig the look though.
Again, it only comes with the one reed plate. Also, there is no cap included.
Please feel free to message me with any questions.
Thanks again for looking!

Note to international buyers:
Due to the current global pandemic, international shipments via USPS mail are experiencing significant delays. This is due to lack of available transportation (ie. mail is normally carried overseas as cargo on commercial passenger flights, however the flight schedules have been slashed). European buyers have experienced wait times of up to 2 months for shipments to arrive. If this potential wait presents a problem for you, please refrain from purchasing at this time. I sincerely apologize for this, unfortunately unavoidable, inconvenience.
