<< Walter, I've tried the velcro strip and I like the playing result very
much.
But I've not been fond of the consequences when I have to change instruments
quickly (reed and Velcro end up in my hand and the mouthpiece is still in
the barrel where it started). Have you found a way to deal with this?

1. Wrap the Velcro around three times, so it won't let go.

2. Have big hands that grip the entire mouthpiece.

Karl, if I have a lot of changes, I use the metal Bay ligature. Somewhat
better sound doesn't make up for a handful of reed, ligature, mouthpiece when
the solo is cued!
