A reed warp mouthpiece system includes a mouthpiece with a bottom side having a concave cavity, a table portion and a rectangular window exposing a tone chamber and extending from the table portion. A reed is disposed on the bottom side of the mouthpiece spanning the cavity and includes a heel portion extending over the table portion and a tapered portion extending from the heel portion and covering the rectangular window. A plurality of parallel slits is provided in the reed. A ligature surrounds the mouthpiece and reed to secure the reed to the mouthpiece. This ligature includes a flexible strap having opposing ends defining a flexible strap length and opposing edges running between the opposing ends and defining a width. The length passes around the mouthpiece and the reed and the width is equal to the heel portion length so that the flexible strap completely covers the heel portion.
