Re: BG Super Revelation - Proper Fit?

I used a BG revelation alot, and also my vintage harrison alot too.

The BG does need a bit more tightening by comparison to prevent reed slippage that you mention. But if I put the harrison lightly too I also get reed slippage.

As mentioned, it's just different (the screw mechanisms are drastically different as the harrison has more screw drag vs the BG - if that makes any sense which I'm sure a little oil would solve too)

I'm curious about the baby powder though as I've never thought of the higher grip of the leather part of the ligature on the mpc itself.

btw, I use my silver harrison ligature vs the gold one. Reason ... I dont want to wear the gold one out, thought I would save it for when I'm older
