Hey Dan,

It goes almost without saying that you shouldn't put up with a mouthpiece that is so firmly planted in the barrel that you need to do a serious operation to get them apart. This is usually caused by the tenon of the mouthpiece being too large at the end. An easy fix for a tech along with ensuring the cork is just right (you don't want wobble but you want a fairly easy on and off).

Also I couldn't help borrowing this image from the other current thread. It is an image of what is referred to as Benny Goodman's single screw ligature. I'm pretty sure he'd used just about everything (more out of expedience, not chasing a "sound") but it could certainly have been a model he'd used. Look familiar?!!?

Everything old is new again!
