Best Answer

A ligature holds the reed in place. It goes on top of the mouthpiece and has a screw (or two) for you to tighten, yet it leaves enough room for the reed to vibrate and produce a sound. There are many different kinds of ligatures, although they're all basically the same. They are made of leather or silver/nickel.
