Clarinetists will perpetually reinvent the ligature no matter what people think of that. Some old idea like pressure plates or floating contacts will come to someone's attention, attract their fancy, and behold a "new" ligature is born. The Bonade model, with its two vertical metal strips in contact with the reed, for instance, has been reinvented in the Spriggs, Ishimori, Brancher, BG Tradition and Duo, one of the Vandoren Optimum's metal plates, and many other brands, each with a particular twist or innovation. One of the latest of these reinventions is from Sax Clinic in Macedonia. It was only a matter of time before someone would riff interestingly on the Silverstein multiple string ligature. Sax Clinic's versions certainly have visual appeal. If they sound as interesting as they look, they could be news. Even if they don't, some players may buy them for eye candy; they certainly photograph well. Have a look: https://saxclinic.com/b-clarinet/
