Actually I stumbled on the Fortissimo (ff) Musical Accessories booth
also. I thought the sax stand was interesting but that the relatively
horizontal position the sax sits in on the stand would make it a prime
target for being kicked.

To me the interesting thing about the ligature was the little bitty cap
they have that fits over the end of the mouthpiece.
