Has anyone been using one of ALLPOINT ligatures made by Carl Jackson?

I've been using the "coin" ligature off and on.

I've been using one for the past couple of months.
I really like it a lot. Very much like the sound and feel of it.
Sadly, I find the materials used could be improved, and I cannot take the mouthpiece off without removing the reed and ligature (but I use the same barrel on both clarinets, so it's not much of a problem)

I really like it so far. Oh, I'm using what I think he calls the original, or something. It's all leather, with three leather pads in contact with the reed. It feels for me quite like string, but with a little more hold.

I really like the ligature as well. I have a similar complaint when it comes to switching clarinets, as the ligature doesn't stay on. Therefore I can't use it in orchestra, but for solo/chamber I like to use it. I have a small issue with the tightening screw not working right, but if I crank it enough it does tighten, though I don't believe in the manner it was meant to.

I use these ligatures all the time. And very pleased. It is so natural that I do not think about it.

I like the tone on the coin ligature. It's very clear and articulates and responds well. I agree with Curiousclarinetist, it's not the best for large ensemble work because I find it doesn't project as well as BG or Bonade. It is perfect for chamber music though! I really like it!
