I pretty much reflect Old Geezer's description, BUT having tried and am now using all 3 ligs, I seem to prefer the Gigliotti to the others, partic. when I go searching for "dark". I believe that the Luyben is the least expensive. but like all plastics, it can be ruined by over-tightening. A "side note" , having read that B G often? used a standard 2 screw metal, turned some 80-90 degrees [as rec'd by Kell !!] , so that it holds the reed by 2 parallel horizontal bars, like the M Lurie lig I prefer on Bass cl mps. Keep trying, the most secure one IMHO is the Bonade. Gig's patent # is 3,410,170 . Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
