My Favorite Logature's a Hairtie

So I came across a book called "the clarinet and clarinet playing". The author mentioned pretty interesting concept, about how the ligature is only job is to keep the reading Place snugly enough and nothing else. He mentioned that as shoelaces now his favorite ligature. I also watch ear spasms video on ligature comparison as well

Being the Speculator Sam that I am, I decided to give his advice a try. So I can pair to my stock metal ligature that came with my Yvette clarinet and then I tried a hair tie scrunchie. It's one of the yellow and pink tie dye looking things that you could probably buy at the dollar store or Walmart for $0.50 or so I get like a pack for $2.
.
So after listening for myself, I had my mother listen as well. Apparently my tone is actually better with the hair scrunchie as a ligature. So now my clarinet looks Wicked awesome cuz it has its yellow paint tie dye on the top of it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that fabric is my preferred material for a ligature now. How about you guys?
