That’ll do it! Make sure you are breaking in and rotating your reeds too. Here is a video with information about that if you need: th-cam.com/video/jxYFow518_Q/w-d-xo.html
That’s not terribly uncommon. Be sure not to over tighten it. Try loosening both screws evenly and then push it down to where it naturally stops and then just go like a half turn or so to tighten it up. It really only needs to be tight enough the reed doesn’t easily move. Another option is to put a mouthpiece patch on the back of your mouthpiece where the ligature goes and then it shouldn’t slip at all!
A reed adjustment video would be awesome!
Hey! Nice channel!
Great Info Josh
Yes on the reed adjustment video. And thanks for this one.
Thanks for this, I am a beginner and my sound deteriorated. I looked at the reed and found a small split, sorted!

Noticing your using the Bonade ligature! I just received the same in nickel and after I tightened it it wants to slip! Any fixes? Thanks!🙏
