I tried all my ligatures today, comparing the resonance of all the notes on the F major scale from F3 up to B5, and how easy it was to do a legato transition from F3 to C5, F4 to C5, and G4 to E5. To my great surprise, string was the clear winner. It seemed to make a big difference in getting the C5 to speak without any hesitation.

I used special coated string that my husband had got from somewhere that is made for clarinet ligatures. All I did was to tied a big loop of string with a reef knot, wrap it round and round the top of the mouthpiece until there wasn't enough string to make another loop, and then push the whole assembly down until it wouldn't go any further.

I'm going to try using that as my standard approach for a bit.
