RE: BG ligatures

Beware of slippage with the BG ligatures.

I did give them a fair try, but could not feel secure with them as I never felt that I could get them tight enough on the mouthpiece so that the reed would not shift out of position. More than once in orchestra, when making a quick mouthpiece change between clarinets the ligature would slip off - thus necessitating using two mouthpiece/reed set-ups.

On a crystal mouthpiece (which is my primary mouthpiece) the slippage was too frequent to even deal with.

There are numerous other ligatures that will accomplish (or surpass) the goal of the BG...GBK
