Re: Materials taken way too far....

The only reason I play saxes with a bronze hook is that it's a good design, very strong, easy to clip on and won't come off accidentally due to the spring-loaded flap thingy, plus the underside has been filed and burnished smooth so won't wear away at the sling ring on the instrument.

As for ligatures, well I don't use any ligatures on saxes other than the clamps Lawtons have fitted to them.

Btw - as for different materials making a huge difference, a plastic mouthpiece cap definitely makes a huge difference, so invest in one of them.

The differences being plastic ones are loads cheaper to buy (or could even be free!) and they don't make as much noise as metal ones when dropped on a hard floor.
