Re: Ligature of a different sorts

I think that what all ligatures have as a base requirement, is sufficient suppleness to provide even pressure of the reed against the table. A spring steel clamp could be made to work for a ligature design, but only if it had a supple belt on the inside which it drew tight to hug the profile. Still remaining would be the matter of the tabs to provide sufficient purchase to release it (long enough to provide leverage), and the tension would be a fixed value.

A ligature with an adjustable quick release lever curving nicely down the side might find some followers..... but only because all ligature designs seem to have followers.
