 Re: Luyben Ligature with Legere European Signature: A GAME CHANGER

Wow . . . ligatures again changing the world.

FWIW, a Luyben was the first ligature I ever bought, about 1976. My teacher had one. I had stepped on the metal one that came with my Vito clarinet (stenciled "Wurlitzer" like the electric organs), figured that would be the "best" since Bill Wicker (my teacher) was a fine player. He was also cool, and no one else in my band had one. (It was also inexpensive, and I was not rich.)

It fulfilled its function - holding the reed on - admirably.

Since then I have purchased every ligature listed in this very long string, and more. I had a day job that paid well, could collect them. Some worked better than others. A few of the most expensive did *not* effectively hold the reed on the mouthpiece, can't recommend them.

I *can* suggest what you might want to avoid. Tony Pay noted a post he made 20 years ago. This is a little bit older: http://test.woodwind.org/Databases/lookup.php/Klarinet/2000/03/000222.txt.

Today - as in what I'm practicing with right now - I'm using an old Kaspar. It holds the reed on just fine, and since it's older than I am it's really cool. Stanley Hasty used one, and he was cool.

I also use a Vandoren Optimum. It was spendy. It has different plates that you can fuss with, on the *same* ligature. On the practical side, it's really quick to put on and take off, which helps with reed testing and stuff.

I will assert only one Universal Truth to playing clarinet: it helps if you blow into the pointy end.

Best,

kjf
