No, since I've only used 2 of them....and didn't notice much difference. Perhaps a professional clarinetist might.

It means athat you, like me, spent your money on a gimic that did nothing to improve your tone. Give it to someone as a hair barrett(sp)

The original, first generation, Eddie Daniels ligature (ED model) was far superior to the current one(s) being marketed.
The older ligatures had two fixed metal plates which gripped the reed on each side (similar principle as the Bonade). Nothing to change - no fuss.
By the way - Some clarinetists feel that the metal plates seem to allow more of the upper frequencies to be heard (brightness?) than the standard dark Rovner model - thus the preference for the Eddie Daniels model.
The biggest change (and my pet gripe - unless they have recently changed it) is that the inside hard plastic ribs of the ligature (used in 2nd and 3rd generation models), which make contact with the mouthpiece, are very slick and tend to make the ligature slip, especially when trying to make a quick change of mouthpieces between clarinets.
The older ED model had inside ribs made of a rubber material with a bit of traction. It rarely, if ever, slipped out of position.
When I spoke to a Rovner rep about the change in design which I felt was flawed, they did admit that I wasn't the only one to voice this concern...GBK
