Re: ligature

My all-time fav ligs are the Bonades. However, I grew tired of the constant re-adjustment needed and the slipping tendency of the newer models so I now use the Vandy Optimum lig with the parallel rail insert which--for me--plays exactly the same as the old B's. And no need for carrying needle nose pliers for reajustment.

As for the gold vs silver Harrison controversy, for reasons I do not know, the silver lig played better for my R13/Chi Kaspar set up than the gold. However, I use the gold one on my gold plated "jazz dedicated" R13 because it looks good and works adequately.

And, fwiw, I use vintage Winslow ligs on all of my sax mpcies--the old ligs with the removable bands. They sound better than the newer ones.
