For some reason, I expected it to look somehow ... asymmetrical. ![[tongue]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie6.gif)
Compared to the Star (which seems to have the same ™ attributes) it looks rather pricey.

Interesting idea (really look at the picture of it installed on a mouthpiece) covering the whole butt of the reed. Though there is no mention of an insert (probably does not utilize one).
So far, I've like ligatures that are both minimalist as far as coverage and those that cover a large portion of the reed. But for the most part the one common factor for me has been the double bars running parallel with the grain (ala the Bonade ligature). If there is no insert in this one I'd wait.
Though I appreciate that it was named after his West Highland Terrier.

In the picture, it sure looks as if it's installed on an eefer mouthpiece, which accounts for why the ligature seems as if it covers the butt of the reed.
If I'm wrong, that's one heck of a big tightening nut!

The written description says, "sizable, and marvelous." I assume that first parts means that it is BIG.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, covering the whole but of the reed, I did try it out. Rovner useally sends any new design to try out to give him my opinion. For me it covered my sound to much, dampened it. But I think someone that tends to play with a brighter or shriller tone might find it helps soften the and warm up their tone. The best way to know is to try one. Get one from him or a mail order store that will let you return it within a few weeks if you don't like it. You can usually tell after trying it with 3-4 different reeds.
