 Re: The Grip WE have on our ligatures
Author: sfalexi

I feel that a ligature DOES make a difference. Not a huge one, and I can play on most any ligature, but I feel some ligatures allow better response than others and some do affect the sound differently than others.

For a quick test, pick a Reed that is slightly hard or slightly too thin. On each, play a thick leather ligature, then a metal one that barely touches. Maybe you'll feel a difference too. For me, I use a thick leather one to deaden the response and brightness of a thin Reed, and use a light metal lig (such as VD optimum) to make articulation easier on a slightly harder Reed.

Maybe its placebo or maybe the sound response is only in my head, but I haven't heard complaints from my commander yet so I'll keep doing it this way.
