I had read this thread a while back and found it very interesting. I am another anti equipment or anti gadget guy who has been playing the same three Otmar Hammerschmidt (Oehler System / Zinner blank) mouthpieces for over 20 years. Fact is that I got my first "zero" (number 0 facing, measuring 0.7X mm) mouthpiece, as we lovingly called them, in 1982. I have played a "zero" since then. Well, I must confess, I have created my own mouthpiece cemetery. We can save that story for another time.
So, after reading and following this thread, "If only they made one ligature for the Austrian mouthpiece," was my first reaction. Fast forward to a few days ago when, while talking to my old teacher Genesio Riboldi, he happened to mention that he was playing the clear Luyben. Genesio has opted for allowing the ligature to hang a bit low on his "zero" mouthpiece. Yeah, he has a mouthpiece cemetery of his own... What he reported was that he loves the Luyben and on blind tests with his students, this ligature has come on top.
So, I ordered two ligatures which arrived yesterday. My first task was to cut four pieces of plastic which I glued to the inside of the ligature where it comes in contact with the top of the mouthpiece. Awesome that I achieved a perfect fit on my favorite Otmar Hammerchmidt. BTW, the reeds I'm playing are Peter Leuthner Wiener Schnitt number 8 and Canyes Xylema Viena E+, AW model 232 4+ (discontinued), and Alexander Pilgerstorfer CAD 5 and Solist 5. I have not made my own reeds in a long time.
My play test with the Luyben yielded a better result than playing the Hammerschmidt(s) with their stock (Klingson?) metal ligature. The comparison with my old Rovner Dark also proved successful. In every case, the Luyben ligature allowed the best vibration of the reed. I've known of the Luyben ligatures for years but it wasn't until now that I needed to grab a pair of a piece of plastic, scissors, and gorilla glue so I could evaluate what I'm sure will become my standard setup.
Thanks Paul A.!
