To be clear, I'm not looking for a way to change what anyone else hears, either. I don't play (beyond testing) with my thumb on the reed, and I adjust my reeds, like everyone else, to play with whatever ligature I'm using. I'm intrigued by the difference in response (which only I will feel unless it's so bad that it affects what others hear, too), in the way the ligature affects how reeds respond. So many reeds seem to play well when I test them (holding with my r. thumb and playing LH notes) and not when I put the ligature on. I just find it a tantalizing phenomenon.
