Re: Non Ligature Guy Likes Ligature

My final results on both M/O ligatures on their respective Vandoren mouthpieces (at least with 56s and 21s) is that there still is a slight angle to those pillars to which you refer. I don't actually recall this phenomenon with my original M/O ligature. I assume though that the slight "V" effect that I see is not harmful as long as I am using the designated mouthpiece with the designated ligature (per Vandoren's wishes of course).

Bottom line though is that this is by far my favorite ligature EVER. And it is on all counts, being sonically a wonderful accessory, small and unassuming, easy to use, and as you say quick to put on and take off. I currently have both M/O and M/O Masters in gold and wouldn't trade them for the Spriggs, Silverstein, metal Ishimoris, Vandoren Leather or Vandoren Optimum that lay dormant in a drawer.

I would say that you may want to score the inside with some fine sandpaper to help aid against "slippage." And avoid over tightening! It is hard on you nerves in rehearsal and harder on your wallet.
