Is anyone a fan of the BG metal plated ligatures? Does the gold one work well for classical music? Are they only for "rubber" mouthpieces? (to me, this implies they work with virtually all mouthpieces commonly used). Thanks!

I use the BG gold-plated model on alto sax, with a Meyer hard rubber mouthpiece, and love it! Can't speak for clarinet, however; I've never tried one for clarinet.

I have a BG traditional silver plated for clarinet. I really love it. I haven't tried a gold one, though...

I have the BG traditional silver ligature. Never liked it.
Still use Vandoren Optimum.

I've been using the BG Revelation on my clarinet for 11 years, and that was after trying too many ligatures. It really made the sound so much more expansive, and made the reed feel like it was set free. Is that the one you were asking about? The part that holds the reed to the mouthpiece is made of metal.
Whether it's right for classical is wholly up to you. As a jazz player, I find the concept of a "jazz" or "classical" sound a bit odd. A well-produced sound is a well-produced sound; how you shape it and use it is your business.
