 Re: Think your ligature matters?

My take;

1. I can hear the "as advertised" differences in the 3 plates of my newish VD Optimum.
2. My old gold-colored Harrison ligature is better for the altissimo than my Rovner Light, and perhaps even my Optimum as well.
3. My Rovner Light, played as loose as possible, has the biggest sound over the 2 lower registers. My other Rovners, into one of which I glued a lengthwise channel-shaped piece of cork, make the clarinet a little stuffy, although the one with the homemade cork pressure plate produces a more beautiful timbre.
4. B. DeFranco introduced me to the $8.00 Luyben, which seems to have the most even volume and timbre across the registers and doesn't require extra effort anywhere, if you get my meaning.
5. I play the Rovner light more than the others because of the sound it produces.
6. My old Buffet 2-screw ligature produces a surprisingly even timbre across the horn. I never use it because it is ever-so-slightly stuffy compared to the others mentioned above. I noticed that somewhere along the line, Goodman (and Shaw, I think) inverted their two-screw metal ligatures. There had to be a reason, right?

I refer above, to MY ears. I have no idea whether the differences would be heard by a listener out front, so to speak.
