Even if players wanted to, it would be hard to keep ligatures secret since they are rather obtrusively visible "in your face" items. Anyone can easily see for instance that Nicholas Baldeyrou and Florent Heau (two outstanding French soloists) are playing Vandoren Optimum ligatures. (Of course you'd have to ask them which of the three pressure plate inserts they prefer). Corrado Giuffredi and Sunny Kang (Seunghee Lee) obviously are playing Silversteins. Julian Bliss in many performances has used a BG Duo gold plated. Shirley Brill has used a GF ligature and Martin Frost played a prototype of the Vandoren Carbon model ligature on his boxwood clarinet for the Vivaldi album. Otherwise he seems to be using a composite ligature that looks like a Rovner. As least as long ago as Harold Wright, the Bonade ligatures, both regular and inverse have been immensely popular. Robert Marcellus used a Bonade inverse with the middle vertical bar removed (actually sawed out). At the famous Coburn School in Los Angeles, Gilad's students seem to prefer Bonade ligatures. Ricardo Morales has used a BG Tradition, a BG Duo and several others in his performances. Marc Nuccio likes the handmade MOMO ligature from Japan.

On the other question of reed strength and tonal resonance, if you get a chance
try to listen to Gustave Langenus's recording of the Mozart Clarinet Quintet with the Budapest String Quartet. It's probably out of print but CDs of it are readily available (Library of Congress Recordings--Bridge CD 9085 ADD). Rather like Louis Cahuzac, Langenus played double lip and used a fairly soft reed strength to get a very full, overtone-rich sound. He didn't try to fill the sound out by blowing against a heavy reed the way many players do. Instead, he experimented with voicing the tone in his oral cavity to achieve both a sense of adequate resistance and a "heady" placement that was projective. He seems to have coupled this with a vibrato (taboo at the time) to achieve an effect he rather mysteriously called "a glow." His method book is worthwhile, but he doesn't go into resonance voicing there.
