Re: Silverstein flaw

For several reasons, the Silverstein Cryo 4 is the best ligature I have tried to date (particularly in orchestra). Since one cannot grab the Silverstein and mouthpiece together for clarinet switches, I have come up with a solution that works well. With a Dremel I sand down the mpc cork until I can remove the mpc from the barrel, holding the mpc with my right-hand thumb and 1st finger below the ligature.
I remove a surprisingly small amount of cork for this to work.
I would suggest sanding the cork incrementally and testing the mpc in the barrel regularly. If you remove too much cork, the mpc will wobble in the barrel socket.
