Just to clear up a thread from a couple of weeks ago from Jason. BG ligatures and other products did not take their brand name from the great Benny Goodman. The following is a copy of an Email from BG in France:
Dear Roger,
BG is a trademark patented owned 100% by Franck Bichon, BG has nothing to do with the great artist Benny Goodman !
B was for Bichon and G for our past distributor.
Thanks for using BG products.
Best Regards,
Franck Bichon

Don,
BG Franck Bichon don't make mouthpieces - just excelent ligatures, slings, swabs, stands, and mouthpiece cases.
Your mouthpiece must have been made by another company which may have been endorsed by Benny Goodman?
Roger
