Ken, the correct name is, "Winslow", made by my friend, John Winslow. The ligature pictured is the improved model and was not all that heavy. The original ligs with the seperate plate was much heavier and somewhat bulky getting in the way of your chin. I do not think that the weight "killed the resonance" at all. The other big disadvantage of the Winslow lig was it's tendency to slip out of adjustment if the mouthpiece needed to be switched between clarinets. Otherwise, the Winslow ligature was the most responsive ligature in terms of overtones produced in the sound. I did not like the ligature on the soprano clarinet, but use it on my bass clarinet, eb clarinet and all of my saxophones. Fortunately, John made sure I had a "lifetime supply" of all the extras--bumpers (red, black and grey), C clamps, top screws and the different kinds of pins used.s
I may be wrong, but I think the pictured ligature is one of his clarinet models.
