Chris--

>From my limited exposure to the BG ligatures, they appear to be very similar to
the Rovners. That aside, ligatures--like mouthpieces--are a personal choice, and
if the BG is the ligature that works for you, by all means use it. You like BGs,
I prefer Rovners, others like Bonades, or Pynes. Each clarinetist should always
use the equipment that works best for him/her.
