I haven't played one.

In design it's extremely similar to a Luyben Ligature (which is great and cheap...it performs way beyond it's price tag) and others.

I have tried them and find them to be fantastic!!! Deborah Chodacki, whom I studied with at the Interlochen Arts Academy, was a huge fan of these ligatures and most of our studio ended up using them as well. There is something about the softness of the metal combined with the way it holds the reed that makes the sound resonant and responsive yet still preserves the warmth and mellowness of a non-metal ligature. I would definitely recommend trying one.

Not much different in concept to the four spot plate which comes with the Van Doren Optimum ligature.

okay so I tried it.

My Luyben broke so I ordered a new one along with a couple others to try something new.

all of them work well, but the cheap luyben works a little better. The Equa-Tone sounds just a bit too dull, the Scott sounds a bit too bright. The luyben - seems to still be the perfect one for me. But it was worth a try.

I've bought and played a number of ligatures that contact the reed only in small spots, including the Luyben, the Winslow and the original Portnoy. For me, the problem was that, on the metal ones, the "spots" dug into the bark, so that the reeds didn't last.

I've been happiest with ligatures that hold the reed firmly but do not bind at the edges. See http://www.lomaxclassic.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=71&zenid=57ebb98b549a7085d07354f02cf85424 and http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=360411&t=360328.

A little off topic, but do the Lomax Elite Model ligatures work well? I have a BG Revelation right now, but the colors are really attractive, if they actually play...

I too have a hard time with ligatures that dig into the bark of the reed. Maybe it's an old reed maker's bias, but I don't like the bark end of a reed distorted or "dug into".

I've tried many, many ligatures and my favorite so far is the Rovner "Eddie Daniels" model. Does anyone know if it is still made?

I think it was renamed. Take a look, possibly it is the Versa?

The new versa x rovner is really nice. I'm using it with cane reeds. When I use the legere reeds, I'm using rovner star series ligature in the non inverted set up. When the stars are lined up the humidity is just right the vandoren classic woven works great with cane reeds I find it just doesn't work with Legere. I have 2 of the Bob scott ligatures and they do mark the bark but sound pretty good, but I pretty much stick to the Rovners for most of my playing.

I did a "blind" test with my teacher - she liked the Scott the best. But I didnt feel like I had as much control with it.

She told me to look into the BG - Super Revolation.....
any thoughts on this one???

I have used the BG Super Revelation off and on for a couple of years. For me it gives a centered tone quality and projects well. Maybe a little brighter than other non-metallic ligatures I have tried.
