Re: Vientos Vintage Ligature: Amazing.

Ok, I may be a little reluctant over price on that one. But I also am not seeing the difference between the hard, unyielding aspect of carbon fiber vs. metal. Same thing with the Silversteins (of which I have about five). The Silversteins may look like string but they function like the ultimate metal ligature. They are quite wonderful with cane (which is why I have so many) but they do not function well with Legere (or rather it is a typical metal result.....damped; less overtones; dull by comparison to plastic ligatures).

I think I may wait for others to find whether carbon fiber works well with Legere and then I'll jump on that train late if that is the case. Also, since you can manipulate carbon fiber a bit more, I'd like to see one with the interior dual vertical rails in the Bonade style (like the Vientos). Not too much to ask?
