Off-the-Cuff Clarinet: Ligatures

Музыка

LIGATURE BATTLE!
How much does a ligature change how we sound? What does a ligature affect? How do ten different ligatures stand up in repeated attempts of Mendelssohn's Scherzo from A Midsummer Night's Dream?
Also, I'm experimenting with audio settings as I record. Let me know if you have any thoughts/preferences over this versus previous episodes!

    Most problems begin about 5 inches before the mouthpiece.

    Yes, "user error" is often the issue!

    you should review the new Dickerson Resonator Ligature -- it's a ligature and resonator combine

    I play on a Pyne sting ligature. It does not have any metal at all. The Silverstein ones that you showed really intrigue me!

    Since you like the Pyne, you might like the Silverstein Hexa!

    The Kaspar was the BEST. Then the silver D’Addario one Also the Bonade was top shelf.

    I like my Harrison and tend to go back to that but sometimes I use a Bonade or Vandoren M/O, Luyben or Rovner (ribbed)

    Thank you a nice demonstration! You might want to consider a simple volume normalisation between the speech and the playing ;)

    I use the Philadelphia model and love it; I have a fair collection of new and vintage pieces and the Philadelphia is my absolute favorite, hands down. Ramón has worked on every mouthpiece I've played since about 2012, E-flat and bass included-I previously used his 1B model and a 2 before that.

    I hate Silverstein works!! Asked them many times to make an Omnipatch with deeper tooth groove and they won't.. Very disappointed by them.. Please! Can you suggest this yourself to them? Maybe they hear you..

    @@jimis3167 Don’t ask what? Think about your comment for a second. I’ve never seen anyone with such a complaint about the Omnipatch. Why should they change the design all for one person’s critique? Then, you’re out right hating them because they won’t do your bidding? You’re hilarious.

    @@Evan-kj6ye Actually, If you watch reviews more carefully, there are many saying same thing (that tooth groove is too thin and teeth slipping off the patch). People just didn't happen to ask Silverstein to correct the Omnipatch. I think would be a really fantastic change and this would become best mouthpiece patch ever! As teeth would lock on the mouthpiece like no other patch and embouchure and tong would be completely free. So, as you'll see the reviews, this doesn't come entirely by me, many would like that I think. It's not one person's opinion, I just happened to suggest to them but unfortunately they didn't took It under consideration. So, that's why I don't like the company. They may have great ligatures but all aspects matter If you ask me.

    @@jimis3167 Out of everyone that I know who owns this Omnipatch and also whom swear by Silverstein, have no such issue. Reviews that I’ve pulled from online distributors also rave about the Omnipatch and only few who think that the patch is a waste of money. The groove mechanism of the Omnipatch is a good indicator for where your teeth go, but in no way should it compensate for the lack of stability of a embouchure.
