Detlef,

Try glueing thin strips of cork to the top inside of the ligature
(underneath the screws of an inverted ligature). I've done this and it
works. Or, you could put a mouthpiece patch on the top of your mouthpiece.
Some may have other, perhaps better suggestions.

When I had problems with slipping I thought that these two solutions could
cause a change in tone/response. But it hasn't seemed to have a noticable
change to me. Good luck and Happy New Year!

Frank
