Related to Fuzzy's point. One thing I often find with experimentation with ligatures and some other clarinet stuff, is repeatability, the standard scientific test/challenge to most claims. Having gone through a round of experiments with ligatures I don't always find exactly the same result next time round (maybe next day or few days later). Perhaps the main difference I noticed initially doesn’t seem to be there or is far less pronounced than before or becomes marginal. Of course, some things have changed - me, reed, weather, temperature, humidity etc. But shouldn't this equipment change provide a lasting, sustainable and noticeable benefit/difference ? It's this lack of consistency in outcomes, which could be down to me, that make me sceptical of the real benefits of changes to some equipment. Or is it that next time round I'm less susceptible to the placebo effect?
