I was watching somebody put a reed on a mouthpiece the other day with a standard two screw ligature and saw that they put the reed against the table first, and then slid on the ligature. I don't know how long it's been since I've ever done that, but I'm sure I stopped after accidentally slicing my reeds with the ligature when sliding it on. Instead I put the ligature on first and then slide the reed onto the table fitting it into place.
Just wondering from those that put the reed on first and then slide on the ligature, is there a reason you do it this way? Haven't you accidentally sliced a reed or two when making a quick change?
