Re: Thin tone

I think it would be a good idea to switch to 3.0 size reeds and maybe try Vandoren Blue Box 3's. In terms of your ligature, the Luyben has certain interesting qualities to it, though, metal can contribute to a thin tone, though these are very good ligatures. My suggestion for a ligature is a BG Ultimate (or the highest that it goes to), which is cloth with a gold dipped bar. It'll cost you about $25 for the ligature but it will greatly improve your sound, making it warmer and richer which will be great for that register.
