Paul, I liked the mouthpiece video.
I agree that the ligature video is juvenile, but that’s why it’s entertaining. I thought the most informative part was the 2 clamps. The cord clamp is essentially the same thing as those fancy ring ligatures they sell. They work!
My intention was not to say that it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever. It’s that you don’t need an expensive one to sound great. There is an infinite amount of hype about that sort of thing. I just can’t believe the prices, even if you consider design, marketing, and demand - most of them are essentially mass produced widgets. It may play great, but it’s still a widget.
It’s like sports cars or something. “You ONLY have an old Porshe, I’VE got a new Ferrari.” It goes the other way too, my Juilliard alum saxophone professor preferred we use the cheap Selmer standard ligature, which in my case was misshaped and didn’t quite fit. LOL
