Legere European plus... Van Gogh

At Clarinet Fest I chatted with a nice lady about Rovner ligatures. I showed her my Legere European reed under my Versa X and asked what ligature would be easier to position initially (center both reed and lig on mouthpiece), and more stable while playing (not allowing reed to shift sideways). She suggested the Van Gogh. I worked with it a while, should have bought one then and there and saved a few $.

My Van Gogh arrived today. First impressions are good. Easy to center initially. Rock solid thereafter even with light screw tension. More later maybe about how it plays, but I had a good session with it.

I'm sure there are cheaper good lig choices for the Legeres, slippery devils that they are. But these days, perhaps even $53 has to be considered a bargain for a ligature.
