It took my $5.99 ligature 13 days to arrive from China. While waiting I've mostly continued playing on my Bois. I do like how the Bois plays, but I find it pretty inconvenient to position and reposition after reed adjustments. I'd hate to end up wanting to use it all the time. Though it does have a modern look with minimalist appeal.

I also worked more with NonameA, and found that if I left the top screw as loose as possible, it plays better, almost as freely as the Bois. (I did many such experiments years ago and had tried to put aside the whole concept as old bad science- my bad.) Of course it is easy to find many such suggestions on various YouTube videos and BBoard threads- though some of you- I think- do as I'd been doing and always crank your ligature down tight. So anyway, by the time "6dollar" ligature arrived I'd already made progress. I did note that my Rovner dark seems to play the same regardless of the screw tightness- maybe that's why I had quit trying.
