Re: Ligatures

Hello Skip,

I personally prefer the Peter Spriggs ($90ish) floating rail ligature to the Vandoren. It is, however, just a very advanced design of the Bonade ($20ish) inverted lig. that I have all my students use. (I am not diminishing the work and design that Spriggs did to create his lig...just offering a simplification).

Unfortunately the Bonade is poorly produced, and you have to do some work on it to get it to "be all that it can be".

I met a colleague this past week who uses the Spriggs who was trying the Luyben lig, and said it was wonderfull! And only about $10.00.

You can often order lig's on approval, and if you can that is what you should do.
