The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Think your ligature matters?

Author: ThatPerfectReed  Date:   2014-04-24 22:10 Wow Sxplyer91 from Hackensack, NY. Is that the same Hackensack that Silverstein works is located in? Imagine the odds. Why don't I try it first? Fair question. Why don't you, err, I mean Silverstein publish scientific literature for us to reed (pun intended) first? Why doesn't Silverstein spot me the $140 to buy it? I'm throwing out negative comments? Really--that a wet ligature has a hard time wetting a reed when it solely interfaces with its in large part water impervious top base? And that if it can't wet the reed much, it probably isn't going to have much bearing from a moisture standpoint on preventing warpage. Or that colors, even luxurious ones dont' affect performance? Or that simply because the cord used had space exploration applications doesn't make it perfect for mouthpieces, anymore than applying liquid oxygen, essential for human missions, wouldn't crack most mouthpieces if you applied that coldness to them? Thank you Sxplyer81. You have done precisely what I claim high end ligature manufactures do. They take the "you should try (which rhymes with buy) before you comment," approach rather than say, "here is the data you asked for sir." Noted--they warranty their product. But reimburse you for its return if its not all its dreamed to be....is that available too? Here's my challenge. I will pay up to $50 of my own in shipping the product to me, and everyone on this board who wants to try it before that $50 is depleted--and that's without the science they claim they have. Silverstein's move. Maybe you know some people there who will guarantee that my application for trial will be accepted, and that responsibilty for product return lies on the last person on the bboard who has it. I absolutely promise I will be fair, ask others to be as well, and eat my hat it's worth the $100 additional cost above other good ligatures. If Silverstein accepts this trial, bboard members, I ask you, with the moderators' okays, if you would sign up. I can Paypal documentable shipping costs to every member, up to my $50 limit, and you only need to disclose your contact information to the previous person (and I trust in confidence) in line who has it before you.
