Re: Ligature blow-out??

I once bought a Vandoren Optimum and thought it was great. after a few years I felt some problem with the response and accused myself, reeds, instrument, etc. I just never considered it could possibly be the ligature. One day I happened to try a different ligature for not reason, and that problem I had for a while was completely solved. I wasn't even trying to solve a problem by trying that other ligature, and expected to notice no difference. I then tried the Optimum again and the problem was back, pretty serious response problem too (very resistant). I then tried some other old ligatures I had and didn't have the problem either. I didn't remember that the Optimum had this problem when I first got it.
