 Re: Crossing the break legato - effect of different ligatures

I just tried this test again a few hours later to see if it is the same.

It was, but I think that what I need to do to cross the break right, is maybe to put all my fingers down at exactly the same time. I think if one lags behind then the column of air doesn't jump fast enough.
It's easier to do this now that I have had my keys extended and can use right hand C5.

I also tested the two ligature for niceness of sound.

My husband and son prefer the deep notes on the string, and I prefer the deep notes on the Brancher. We all three have this prefence because we thought the sound was warmer and fuller. None of us is convinced that we could tell them apart in a blind trial.

In the altissimo, the notes are very unreliable on string and frequently don't sound at all, whereas they always sound first time and play clearly on the Brancher. I do normally play altissimo on string, so I think it must just be easier on the Brancher.

Here is a recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0JdVX3wkdA

I also like the Brancher because it is quicker to put on than the string. Having said that, the electricians tape on the ligature is essential to prevent slipping. The instrument wouldn't work at all if the bit of electricians tape fell off. (Eeek!)
