 Re: Clamp that sucker down!

While what derf5585 says about the natural vibration of a free springboard (or a reed clamped at one end) is true, it is not very relevant to the actual sax or clarinet playing situation. As long as the natural resonance frequency of the reed is above the resonant frequency created by the length of the attached tube, the tube resonance totally dominates and the reed must vibrate at the tube's frequency. This is a simplification of the actual modes,harmonics, squeaks, etc in effect but is basically what is happening when we play the instrument. Dampening the reed , whether by embouchure or by various degrees of tightening of the reed's butt can affect the reed's complex vibration modes also present above the fundamental frequency and harmonics produced by the tube length, thus giving rise to changes in response and tone color. But, as demonstrated by Mike the Earspasm guy, these are small changes at best. If you feel the changes are worth the price of a exotic ligature, then you spends your money and makes your choice.
