Re: Plastic ligatures

Hi,

I still have my original Luyben ligature from the 1970s plus some newer editions. I believe that the molds for the original ligature were redone several years ago since they had lost some of the fine detail.

Also, I regularly play a Gigliotti ligature. I modified mine with a Dremel and removed the middle portion of the two center ribs leaving only a small bit at each end. This really made an improvement in the response of the reed. The change was much like removing the center section of an inverted Bonade ligature. There is just a little bit of contact holding the reed at the four corners..
