 Re: The Grip WE have on our ligatures

Interestingly (or maybe not), partly spurred by your question I went to my desk full of clarinet junk and pulled out a Bonade (inverted chrome) and sat down to compare it to the Rovner (I think it was called an EVO model - Rovner no longer seems to list it, but it's similar to a Rovner "Light" with the openings in the back). I switched back and forth several times, carefully holding the reed still with my left thumb while I changed ligatures and operated the screws with my right hand.

What I found in this one small test was that I heard and felt a distinct difference between the sound and response of the two ligatures - but that the difference lasted all of about 5 or 10 seconds, long enough to play through the little Baermann passage I was using for the test. I wasn't even consciously adjusting anything, but somehow my ear was leading the rest of me toward whatever I needed to do to completely equalize two ligatures that, to read most of what's been posted about them on this BB, should be less subtly different.

Still, the only generalization I could make from this is that between *these two* ligatures, any choice I make will be based on other qualities (two screws to adjust on the Bonade vs. one on the Rovner, or the fact that the Rovner is less likely to mark up my mouthpiece, or that the Bonade fits better in the mouthpiece compartment in my case, etc.), and that I can evidently play happily and comfortably on either one.
