"Multiple manufacturers and individuals are flooding the market with too many products."

Lets assume this true. If it is, fingers best be pointed at the irrational clarinet gear consumer who fuels these business flooding decisions when they, often motivated by desperation to achieve marginal improvements to play, resort--from this desperation--to the somewhat irrational purchase decisions that fuel the existence of these markets.

Look at this picture http://tinyurl.com/ybl27vqt. We've been reinventing ways to get the butt of a reed to stay in one place long before, and likely long after Silverstein has thrown its wares into the space.

To my way of thinking, nobody should upgrade a working ligature under the belief that it will give them better sound until monies have been spent on nearly EVERY known etude book of our craft, and played to death at 120bps.

Etude work will make your play better. It's cheaper than an expensive lig, which maybe, might make you play just a tad better.

Where do you think money is better spent?
