at the time the bonade lig became the standard, you cut the center part out of it. This became the unquestioned lig because, possibly, marcellus used it, and you didn't question the results he got, which were imho, unsurpassed. you also used moree reeds and a kaspar mp on an R-13 worked on by moenning if you could get one....I lived in cleveland and attended cleve orch concerts from 1959-1972. lot of good clarinet playing.
But mark's comments are spot on...a pro uses whatever tools he/she thinks allows him to do the best job, be it string or fancy ligs with pistons...
reported said by bernard adelstein, solo trumpet with the cleveland orch upon seeing the super radical, high tech expensive monette trumpet: "wow...you don't even have to practice anymore...:)"
