It's funny about ligature sizes. I started gripping my mouthpiece the way I've described when I couldn't get my Rovner Versa (which I'm not currently using) to stay still. It is arguably a little too large for my mouthpiece. But recently I bought a Rovner Next Generation ligature - a metal device with narrow horizontal bands and spaces - because a student had one for his bass clarinet that sounded terrific and loves it. I can't get it around my reed - it slides off the edges on one side or the other because it just doesn't reach far enough across to seat solidly.

Same company - both Rovners. Go figure.
