Welcome, Kevin, to the Lost Legion of Ligature Mythology Debunkers. Our
mission is to locate and destroy the colony of elves living in the Black
Forest who fiendishly design and market ligatures that come off in your
hand while removing a mouthpiece "in concert". Unlike the Mars Lander
technology, these wacko elves have devised one (shall remain nameless)
that will propel the ligature on a free fall basis, back into the trumpet
section while flipping the reed to the other side of the podium. To avoid
this terrible situation, carry with you a spare reed, a length of
clothesline, a stapling gun, 1.5 feet of lampcord and a shoelace; all of
which will secure the reed to the mouthpiece better than a $50.00 commercial
model.
