Re: Legere Reeds and Ligatures

I used a Dremel tool with a sand paper type cylinder to totally the rough up the inside surface of my metal ligatures. At one time, I had access to a small sand blaster, which would work better ...

See link for Dremel, if you don't know what I am talking about:

The Rovner ligatures seem to work fine and don't slip, as does the Luyben, without modifications.

Discovered how well the old standby 5RV-lyre works with Classic cut Legere reeds.

Lately I'm find the Signature cut to run a lot harder than advertised, in respect to the Classic cut, and also I have a hard time finding a friendly MP to the Signature ... really fussy ...

Try the 5RV-lyre (non 13 series) with a Luyben ligature and #3 Classic Legere and see if that don't "butter your bread" ... I think it's a really good, trouble free, combo for students.
