Re: Matching the Lig to the Reed

Well if you are speaking of real leather, those ligature will NOT deaden the sound of your reed. I had a friend who held on very tightly to her original Rovner which was actually made of leather. I have a few Kangaroo leather ligatures from Mike Lomax that are great. The leather ligatures with inserts like the Ishimori Kodama or the Vandoren Leather are more aggressive and metal like in performance.

If you think out of the box a little, the BG Flex is a rubbery synthetic that is really quite good and holds the reed quite well even left looser (a posture that helps take the ligature out of the equation giving you a vibrant performance almost no matter what ligature you use).
