Subject: Clarinet Ligatures for B-flat.

Hi! I am a high school junior. I have been playing B-flat Clarinet for 7
years. I am thinking of switching to another type of ligature because i
have heard that others create a much better sound when against the reed.
Could some of you out there in the clarinet circuit recommend a good by
reasonable priced ligature that has a good reputation. If it would help I
am using a Vandoren B45 mouthpiece.

ps.
someone told me to buy an inverted mouth piece that (i can't remember the
brand name) only touched the reed on the sides of it. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thank You,
Shari Ratner
