Re: what is your favourite ligature?

Most metal ligatures are not made correctly and are often cheap and nasty. I did have a Selmer metal ligature once that was correctly made. The only part of it that made contact with the reed were the two inner straight edges which were turned in very slightly. When you tightened up the two screws these edges 'bit' into the reed somewhat. After a while you could sometimes see two fine lines indented in the reed. Incorrectly made metal ligatures just wrap around the reed after the screws are tightened causing stress to the reed (my assumption)
I use a Rovner mostly because it's very convenient to use as it's very easy to set up having just one screw. As for different ligature causing different sound qualities ? There probably is but I've never considered it of much importance. For me the Ligature is just that thingy that keeps the reed on. Mouthpiece / Reed / & Embouchure are far more important. Well, up at that end of the Clarinet anyway.
