This is a ligature and cap that came with a KAWAI clarinet. I believe the color is nickel-plated. It's in good condition for its age, but there is some age-related deterioration. The deterioration around the ligature's screw is particularly noticeable. There are no issues with its use. It's recommended for those seeking an affordable and reliable ligature and cap. Also recommended for those who want to try a metal cap. No returns or claims accepted.
