After some trial and error I have found that I prefer to use a Bonade cut-out ligature with my Kaspar Cicero mouthpiece. It seems that the Bonade is designed for a mouthpiece circumference that is slightly greater than this blank (a problem I have also noticed before with some Zinner blanks). So that I can tighten the screws just enough (but not over do it!) I have been sticking a thin mouthpiece patch or several layers of regular masking tape on the top of the mouthpiece. Unfortunately, these begin to crimp within a week or less and I end up having to replace them often.
Has anyone else dealt with this and perhaps come up with a better solution?
Please do not encourage me to try your ligature of choice instead! I've tried many, own many, and know that there are many options out there.
Gregory Smith? Maybe you can help? You have been a big proponent of the Bonade ligatures on this board before and are also a connoisseur of the vintage mouthpieces.
