 Re: Clamp that sucker down!

Well put Dave. When I am on a diving board I want that sucker clamped down solid, but ligatures and sound are closer to my heart. In this age it would be possible to make a scientific analysis of everything, write a software program to test it, and given enough time and money come up with a scientific answer. But I have to ask myself would that answer make for the best sound and feel to musicians? A musician from one of the major symphonies who sometimes posts here took the time to call me twice regarding a certain ligature and explained how it should work in detail. I now understand how a Bonade Inverted ligature should function, and I did ask him how he adjusts his screws on it, so I guess I too am guilty of being a ligature nerd in that sense. Dedicated musicians are always looking for ways to get the most out of their instruments no matter what they play. This discussion got me to think of this in different ways, but for me it always comes down to my old ears and how it sounds, how the reed responds and feels, and sometimes what others may say to me about my playing. The good news is we all seem to be searching for an answer to allow us to sound better when we play music. That is a good thing.
