    Description

    Vintage Selmer Magni-Tone/Magnitone patented ligature, fits clarinet and saxophone mouthpieces of all sizes and materials, excellent playing condition but cosmetically one of a kind. The ligature has exposed brass with some nickel plating on the thin metal bands and a much more robust silver-colored metal on the hinge area. I put it in vinegar to remove some stains from the original full nickel plating but left it unattended for too long - when I came back, the vinegar had successfully cleaned it but had also eaten most of it away. The exposed brass look is actually pretty cool! Still plays and looks way better than the Borgani copy. The buyer could 1) leave it as is, 2) put it in some ammonia to completely remove all nickel plating and go for the full exposed brass look, or 3) take it to a jeweler and have them re-plate it in fresh nickel. Includes similarly finished mouthpiece cap, asking 0 OBO as-is.
