Re: Bonade screws on Harrison ligature

Sorry for being a bit mean spirited above. I did assume a slight since there was no hint of negativity in the thread until there was the introduction of the idea that the thread was itself pointless.

I think it may be more helpful instead of the example above of using all of Harold Wright's equipment, rather to think of giving Harold Wright a Spriggs Floating Rail ligature in the middle of his recording of the Schubert Octet and seeing what if any difference it makes to him or the remainder of the recording. But we'll never know.

As for my mention of the ONLY parameters we have to convey sound, I did leave out that, yes, we do describe and or play examples of what common practices are, but I wanted to get the main bit out without coloring it in any way. I once suggested that we as interpreters of music can take without too much exception that an unmarked phrase can be interpreted as getting louder as the notes get higher and getting softer as the notes go lower (think of most operatic moments as performed by the singers). But that was met with instant derision. So I left the interpretive side out this time.
