For your consideration is this lot of six vintage strap style woodwind ligatures. 

Unfortunately, the maker's mark was either not provided or was worn over time and is not present on any of the ligatures. This assortment includes six vintage leather band ligatures featuring a single brass thumb screw. Several are marked for specific instruments (Alto Sax and Tenor Sax), while others are identified only by model or size codes (2R, 1RL, LR) or not at all (Blank). This makes for an interesting assortment for woodwind players, collectors, or repair technicians.

The lot includes a variety of sizes, textures, and styles, with both closed-back, open-back designs, and some with a slit. Because not every ligature is instrument-marked, the exact application of each piece has not been verified. Please refer to the photographs to determine compatibility with your mouthpiece and feel free to reach out with any questions.

All six ligatures are in good used condition with normal cosmetic wear from age and use. The leather remains supple, the stitching is intact, and the brass tightening screws operate smoothly. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are part of the description and best represent the condition and included items.

Whether you're looking for replacement ligatures, inventory, or vintage woodwind accessories, this assortment offers a nice variety of well-made examples suitable for collectors, technicians, retailers, and musicians alike.

Thank you for your consideration!

*International Buyers – Please Note:


Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.


Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.


We ship international items primarily by USPS. If item is too large, for that country’s size restrictions, it will not ship. As stated above, please get a shipping quote to find out if item can be shipped to your location. 



On international sales a tracking number will always be posted. Often times, once the package clears customs, the tracking number is no longer useful and there is no way of determining the location or delivery status of the package. Because of this, international sales are final upon shipping of the items. 


We will not change items type or sales amounts on customs forms. Please take this under advisement before bidding.
