As mentioned the Benny Goodman ligature has a single big screw. (see pictures)
But the platform that the screw pushes up is "floating."
The platform also is not flat, it is concave meaning that the rounded platform edges of it pushes up against the reed itself and not just a big flat curved plate.
The simple design allowing it to float to create even pressure against the reed front to rear. and side to side.
What I've found from research and testing over 10 years ago was that some simple ligs can pressure and pinch a reed from the edges more than simple support, and can actually cause a squeal that is hard to perceive. I found this out ironically playing for a retired clarinet player that used to play with Benny Goodman when he came to the Detroit area. He had a good ear for his age. I could not hear this squeal myself until I changed ligatures. I had changed clarinets, mpcs, reeds and finally ligatures trying to hear what he was hearing. Once I changed the lig I hear a better, more clear and full 3rd octave without that squeal that now comparatively I could hear.
I can't recall but he may have given me the lig in the pictures as he had boxes of ligatures. He led me to learn more about ligatures and to test how they pinch/support a reed by using a foam piece shaped like a reed.
