 Re: Think your ligature matters?

It's frustrating that this "debate" never gets closer to resolution. In 100 years, this BB will probably still contain strong assertions that different ligatures do or do not make a noticeable difference. But it can't be hard to settle this objectively, in the following blind trial steps:

(1) Take 2 ligatures that you feel are clearly different

(2) Give them to a friend, with your reed and instrument. The friend should be sufficiently expert to set up a reed precisely and consistently, but without having a personal prejudice regarding the ligatures. A Sax player would be ideal.

(3) Put on a blindfold

(4) Have your friend put on the reed using a randomly-chosen ligature

(5) Play without touching the ligature and guess which it is


Steps 4/5 should be repeated about 20 times; if you guess right 15 times or more, I'd accept that as reasonable statistical evidence that there is some detectable effect. If anyone was willing to try this, I'd be fascinated to hear the results.
