Silverstein flaw

Author: Liquorice

In another post I saw this link for the Silverstein anti-slip pad:

https://www.silversteinworks.com/product/antislip-pad/

Silverstein ligatures are flawed, in that they slip off the mouthpiece extremely easily. I say flawed, because a basic level of stability must be a requirement for any usable ligature. It's impossible to change instruments without the Silverstein ligature moving and even the slightest accidental nudge can make the whole ligature pop out of place, which can be disastrous during a performance. So after having paid a large amount of money for the flawed ligature, they now want to charge more money for a fix to the design flaw. I don't think this would be acceptable sales practice for most other products.

Does anybody else feel that Silverstein should at least offer the antislip pad for free with any ligature purchase?
