 Re: String ligatures in North America

I agree with Steve Hartman about the 100% cotton. Your typical fabric store only stocks the polyester rat-tail braid. Of course if you run your cording across a cake of beeswax one or two times, the tackiness imparted makes either cording workable. I've heard contradictory information on whether the beeswax treatment is traditional but this is what I was told to do by the clarinetists of the Netherlands Wind Ensemble back in the 70's.


German mouthpieces are still made with an optional "schnur round," which is a raised bumper at the uppermost "line of ligature" making it impossible for string to just slip off as you pull up on your mouthpiece.


Of course no one has mentioned yet that you'd be kinda hard pressed to find a German using blattschnur these days !!!
