<< Dear list,

I recently just started using the regular Bonade
ligature after having used the BG Super Revalation for
quite some time. I truly like this tried and true
ligature. The Bonade seems to give the sound more
ring to it. Does anyone have experience with the
Bonade ligature? What are your thoughts? It does
seem to brighten up the sound a bit though... I'm not
sure if I like that too much! >>

Brightness in the Bonade is endemic to it. It is usually preferred by
orchestral players because of that. Another thing to watch out for in
inconsistency with the product. Not all Bonade's are created equal, and it's
always to get several to test, just like reed clippers.
