Re: Legere Reeds and Ligatures

These pads may be a good addition to the Legere experiment.

Honestly I am REALLY glad the ligature thread has popped back up. I have found that the BG Super Revelation is a VERY good pairing with the Legere Quebec Cut reed. This ligature allows for a punchy articulation making the reed less "logy."

Even really clamped down though the reed (without the above mentioned reed saver pads) can still be nudged side to side.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Legeres is that they do NOT exhibit different timbres with different ligatures. Nor do they seem to vibrate much more with the ligature left relatively loose (opposed to really clamped down). So I find that Legeres sound like Legeres and it is only the response of the reed that is affected by the different architectures of the ligatures.
