To all Richard Hawkins mpc users...

I am in a bind. I am looking for a ligature. And I'm not sure whether to stay with metal, or to go to a fabric mouthpiece (RV EDII or BG SR). I am currently playing on a Charles Bay ligature, and I first bought that when I was on my Gigliotti mpc. But I am not feeling that the CB lig is doing benefitting me as much as when I was on my Gigliotti. I recently did a test of which ligature I liked better on my Richard Hawkins between the standard Buffet lig and the CB. I found that I produced a better sound on the Buffet, and so did other players in my section. I switch between Vandoren V12's/Rue Lepic's and Gonzalez reeds. All of which are in a strength equivalent to a 4 in V12's. I am always leaning towards a darker sound, but I'd much rather have a pure sound than a dark sound. Are there any suggestions for this mpc as to stay on a metal lig or go to a fabric lig? And what setup works for all of you other RH mpc users? Please help, as I need to order a ligature by tomorrow in order for it to arrive before school starts.

Thanks for your time.

P.S. I am on the professional RH model "b" mpc.
