 Re: Ligature with interchangeable pressure plates

I basically put one thumb at the top of the plate and the other at the bottom. Then I let the top of the plate pivot against the top thumb (my right) and press inward on the bottom of the plate with my other (left) thumb to rotate it off the screw. (I use my right thumb to press only because it's my dominant/stronger thumb - it should work the other way just as well.) I control the ligature with my two index fingers on the top edge with another finger or two (whatever feels comfortable under the bottom edge.

It takes a fair amount of pressure on the bottom of the plate to pop it off, but you shouldn't need to damage the ligature to do it. I guess if you put your fingers behind the ligature and press on the plate with both thumbs, you' probably crush the back inward.
