Here is my current litmus test on ligature madness.

http://shop.weinermusic.com/SILVERSTEIN-CLARINET-LIGATURE/productinfo/LS1201/

This is not a dig against Weiner Music. They carry products people buy. They don't make claims as to a products specific applicability to a particular musician.

$140


Lets take a look:

http://www.silversteinworks.com/index.php

Click three screens to the right.

They've done tests...made charts. But they won't share much about them.

They ask if I think their claims are marketing jargon? No. I suspect they're marketing hype. But I'm open minded. Show me the science. I can't find the very chart in this picture anywhere on the website to even make claims as to its validity.

But all's not lost. They say innovation (not data), is coming. Why at this price isn't it already here?

So I look at the brochure. It shows me some chart and says I should refer to the website. Isn't that just where I came from seeking more information?

It gets better. Dip this ligature in water and it helps keep your reeds moist. (I'm not making this up.)

Okay? So the ligature's chord, presumably prewetted, comes in contact with the reed's top base, (like ligatures do) itself mostly impervious to water....how does that water transfer work?

The ligature thus, as a result, helps with reed warpage too they claim.

Wait, the chord on the ligature landed the mars rover? (I'm not making this up.)

I can apply for a trial?

4 pretty (excuse me, luxurious) colors. Wow-that ought to help with ease of play and sound reproduction about as much as engraving.

I can't buy this chord seperately? I can't use a child's pony tail instead, which may not be as good as this chord, but for $140 I could buy enough pony tails for every person with long hair in my community?
