Re: ligature

Author: DaveKessler  Date:   2012-09-21 16:00 I agree with most of the above comments about the H-Ligature (sorry your thread got off course OP)... 1. They are a good ligature that pulls its design from the Harrison design. 2. They use a much heavier reed plate. I find this gives a thicker & richer tone, but compared to the original Harrison's, they are not as resonant. However, I find them MUCH more resonant and responsive than most ligatures anywhere near their price. 3. They are definitely heavier built and less prone to cracking at the spots that Harrison's do crack. I have still seen the H-Ligature break, but in the cases that I have seen this, the player admitted to over tightening. Plating - I really do not think the plating is going to make a difference... but playing music is 95% in your own head - so if one hears a difference, so be it, who am I to argue? Overall, I think the are a great alternative in the budget price range and I personally love the darker and richer tone that they give over other similar styled ligatures.
