Re: Silverstein ligatures

I use the Silversteins with Legere German cut reeds (on a full Boehm set-up).

For some reason (don't really know why), I have better luck with the plain, black versions (I have both the A frame and T frame Silversteins in both normal and cryo).

The latest purchase was a T-Frame Cryo. It doesn't seem as well made as the earlier ligature of theirs that I have........just sayin'. But it is still a very good ligature.

Bottom line though is that they work well with Legere, no problem. And they are still my favorite (and I have all but the Kessler magneto ligature.....probably only hear the difference with cane).

P.S. Some mentioned above concerning Vandoren. The Optimum works great for me with wavy plate, four point plate and the top and bottom ridge plate.

The Vandoren Masters also clamps the Legere down really secure.
