Hey Paul,
Thanks again so much for your extended explanation, much appreciated.
I didn't even get the flaps idea yet, Just thought it was because of poor fabrication that they were loose. But that is what you get when buying this stuff.. besides less quality product, also less explanation.
Honoustly though, I really didn't know it was a rovner versa copy.
I just liked the design and its possibilities.
Anyway I will definately give those flaps a go, just as well as using it without the plate.
About the jlv:
I read about (but also figured) the rather obvious instability.
Which is a shame as placing the reed fairly easily is something that is, at least to me, rather important. I have discarded my own builds because of that.
To change that i am thinking about, intead of having just one stud resting against the MP, I could make a similar stud, but with a T-bar form. with the top of the T resting against the MP only at both end in a similar way, if you add somthing to keep the bars perfectly parallel, without touching any other part of the MP. you would create less wobble without much interference in the acoustics of the ligature (IMHO).
The designed cap is nice on it's own, but nothing special just a bend over flat plate, and also rather expensive for what it is, specifically in comparison to the ligature it self which has a fairly oke pricing (again IMHO ofcourse)
So I understand your not recommending it point of view,anyway..I am planning to go window shopping in a local woodwind shop I only resently found to be existing close to me. The sell it.. so I will see if I can try it out, and if not. at least have a good look at it instead of all those blender drawings.
Kind greats.
Matt
