Re: what is your favourite ligature?

My current choice amongst today's fair is the Vandoren M/O. This is a unique choice for me in that it is NOT based on the time tested Bonade idea of two thin rails running lengthwise against the reed for support. The M/O has two "dimples" at the top and bottom which effectively make reed contact as a line of pressure at the top and one at the bottom.

Maybe this works great in conjunction with the fact that the M/O is pretty thin metal, and uses a pouch like architecture (self leveling; only one inverted screw). For whatever reason it is a simple design that holds a reed securely (even Legeres).

One caveat is that I do score the inside of mine (sand with 360 wet/dry) to prevent slipping up on the mouthpiece.

They are a little pricey for what you get (in terms of material and durability......must not really tighten too much) but are great all around ligatures.
