I got myself a pyne string ligature a few months ago. It has a dark sound and my reed responded excellently with the ligature.

I have one string woven by myself and one I bought from a shop. Apart from the nifty colours you can use if you make them yourself I can't notice any difference

I have a Pyne ligature that I've used for about
a year and use it with a Greg Smith mp. Works
great for me... A little stretched out but it can
be fixed. Kathy

Hmmm....I've never heard a ligature with a dark sound. In fact, the only sound I've ever heard a ligature make is when they've been dropped on the floor.
And that's hardly dark!

Gee, Larry,
Don't give up your day job just yet. Judging from your two postings I've read, you are not quite ready for the comedy circuit.
(I'm being nice so Mark doesn't yell at me!)

Awwww, Peter.....well....you can't please everybody, I guess (and thank you for being nice...).
I like my day (and night) job -- and, believe it or not, my colleagues think I'm actually somewhat humorous, if not outright funny.....
.....or, come to think of it, maybe they're just laughing at my clarinet playing.....hmmmm.....

The Pyne string ligature is lovely to look at and easy to put on and take off, but it's close to $50, and string is free.

The cost in Germany is just for a length of string. The Pyne ligature is woven in a complex pattern and (I think) glued together so you slip it on and off as a single piece.
