ligature philosophy

Author: angella

opinions please:

some believe in keeping a ligature a bit loose, so the reed is free to vibrate.

some believe in keeping a ligature rather firm (tight) so the reed vibrates AGAINST the ligature.

any thoughts? i've always been the former, my teacher is the latter. i now have a daniels rovner- i like it fine, but it slips when i change clairnets- unless i really tighten it good. basically, i'm having ligature crisis.

any thoughts???

thanks
angella
