I did play the Spriggs ligature at the clarinet fest. I played it for only a
brief time and had some trouble hearing in the exhibit room, but I can tell
you that it felt great. Response was terrific all over the clarinet. One of
these days, I may just order one to play with for a while. I would be
interested in hearing what others experiences have been with it.
