Who play's a Lebayle Soloist ligature? I'm curious about this one... Does 't fit on every mouthpiece...and does it play at all??
I didn't know this ligature until about 5 minutes ago, but I can't figure out the magic from it...
www.lebayle.com
Hope that you have some answers on this one....

Eddy -
The "magic" they refer to is the magic of advertising. Except for the wood ring, the various models look like knockoffs of other makers' stuff, and the descriptions are about as accurate as Leblanc's claim of "a more youthful sound," which means whatever you want it to mean, or, actually, nothing in particular.
Try them if you like, but I wouldn't expect any magic. I pefer as light a ligature as possible -- thin metal or string. For me, anything heavier absorbs some of the tone.
Best regards.

Ken,
I think I'll have to rephrase the sentence.... I didn’t mean with magic that I was believing this thing was great , I just would like to know if someone has tried it, or just tried a ligature from wood (haven't seen one jet)?
What would be the advantage from the material or the weight?
When I look at the picture I can’t say that I find the body of the ligature logical, I really don’t believe that it fits on every mouthpiece.
(but I’m also a rope or Vandoren optimum player).

I took a quick look at the ligature and it reminded me of this old post to the klarinet list:
"The best ligature I ever played on was developed by Franklin Sabin of
Arcadia, California. The device is a wood ring concentrically encased in a
metal ring, and the materials were selected empirically over a period of
years."
