<shrug> Well, I guess that would have been my attitude, too. But Cicola, who presumably uses a string ligature (or did when he wrote the article), is pretty emphatic that for whatever reason (material matters?), there's a difference. Seems like there's only one way really to find out (notice, I didn't post here to ask if German ligature cord is better than shoelace). At any rate, at less than $10 it's a lot cheaper than experimenting with mouthpieces, reeds or even standard metal and cloth ligatures. At the price, I can afford to be a sucker once. If it's snake oil, my local supermarket and pharmacy sell shoelaces (though I'm not sure they're much cheaper).
