Is this really Tony Pay asking all of these questions? Usually Tony Pay asks intelligent questions-this seems like an imposter. Or is this actually Tony Pay and he's going to get our opinions and then be like "Any good player can play fine with any ligature and they are all virtually the same, blah, blah, blah..."?
I've never known you to make 3 new topics in one day. And, they are usually so filled with facts and such that I feel that my brain is going to explode, not "which lig is the best".
Hmm.........

I recently found that Bonade inverted ligature with middle cut out works fine with me.

If you suck hard enough, the reed with stay in place without a ligature. It often helps to remove the mouthpiece, press the reed down against the lay, and suck on the mouthpiece tenon.
And, it makes such a sonorous spleck when you release the vacuum.

actually if you have a good embochure (sp?), and are taking in enough of the mouthpiece you CAN play without a ligature- Dave Etheridge used to use this as a test (to see you if you had enough reed in your mouth).
seriously
it can work, did he ever get you to do this GBK? i'm not sure who/where he got the idea from, Mr Hasty perhaps?
try it- play open G (while holding the reed on with your thumb) and then take the thumb away. If you're taking in too little reed, then the note will instantly stop...... but if you are taking in the full amount of reed (that is freed by the length of the lay) then the note will continue and you can in fact play a scale.

"Which ligature is the best?"
David Blumberg has it right. Whichever one is best for you, never mind what works for everyone else.

I thought Sounds of Woodwinds went out of business years ago. As I remember, they had some wonderful stuff, i.e., a barrel with removable inserts, a bore/mouthpiece measuring device, a mouthpiece facing gauge, a mouthpiece refacing kit, and double and single reed-making equipment and supplies. Can't find them on Google. Anybody know?

None at all! In my slobbery high school days, my ligature fell off on the field once. Luckily, the reed had adhered to the mouthpiece securely enough that I was able to play the rest of the day without one.

Luyben was a good lig. It gets a high mark for looks. It might be easy to strip the threads however so don't overtighten. John
