During ClarinetFest in Lubbuck my son tried it out (using all three
different plates). Each plate *definately* changed the sound; I
was able to tell the difference easily even when I moved a good
distance away from the booth. It was his 3rd choice; second was
a certain model of Rovner (I forget which one) , and his 1st choice
(which he bought) was a "prewound" string ligature from Pyne/Clarion.
All were different, so YMMV.
