><< herefore I believe that the result of a heavy ligature would be a
higher
degree of harmonics; More presence of harmonics and more volume of
harmonics in the higher frequencies, and especially those above the
threshold of the human ear. However the interrelation between the
harmonics
we hear and those we do not are important to the presence as they are
supportive of one another.

Hmmmmmmmmm

Seems as if there is an active and eager scientific mind revealing itself=

here. It does seem as if we could use some of your academic training and =

reasoning here.

I agree with Leo's premises up to the above quote. But I think I
could make a very good case for his premises leading to the
conclusion that a heavy ligature would cut off (rather than enhance)
high harmonics. I drafted a post to this effect, then didn't send it as
I can't prove it from first principles (nor did Leo claim to do this). So=

this
is a case for empirical evidence from professionals measuring =

different ligatures with the proper scientific instruments. The rest is =

speculation.

Keith (who is a seriously well-qualified scientist).
