Bari Sax Ligature for HR Yana

thingiverse

DIY string ligature design. I added overhangs in the rear to grip the back of the mouthpiece body to keep it from slipping due to the body taper. Designed to fit a Yanagisawa HR bari sax mouthpiece. I have not tested the fit on any others. The side pieces are decorative but they do help the ligature hold its shape when you put it on/off. I like to put it on very tight so it does not slip when you adjust the mouthpiece angle. Hardware needed: (1) M3 x 30 screw (black Phillips pan) (2) M2.5 x 5 screws (black Phillips pan) (1) M3x5x5 brass threaded insert for nut or M3 thumb nut of your choice (1) 2mm dia cord. I use FQTANJU 2mm x 100 Yards Premium Quality Rattail Nylon Satin Cord - Gold Wrap 4.5-4.75 loops of cord around the body for needed length. I wrap clear tape around the cord before cutting it to keep it from fraying. This makes it easier to thread through holes. I use a dab of rubber cement on the ends to keep the aglets on. Warning: M2.5 screws may strip holes after several adjustments. See my BC lig design for the Aglet .scad file.
