Hey Paul,
Thank you for your reply..
I am basically just looking around for ligatures, mainly pure out of interest.
But also to find something that works well for me and or
maybe design something nice myself that would be possible for people to make themselves on the cheap.
I have made a few my own, one that ended up being very similar to the vandoren classic (although I didn't even see it when I started to making it).
I like its tonality, but mine is not so easy to use on my MP in daily use, it just doesn't hold the reed in place to well concerning left and rightmovements, sometimes causing leaks.
so I tried a few other things and lately I have been using this what I believe to be chinese knock-off, just haven't found the original yet, still it is functioning nicely.

It has a resonance plate, being some type of steel, held clamped in by some hardened springy steel that also rests on the reed clamping it down.
I like the brightness of the ligature, but it is also pretty harsh at moments.
So since it's easy for me to replace the resonane plate with a silver resonance plate that I would also make better formed into the curve of the reeds.
Hoping it to become a little less harsh, but still have the brightness.
But this JLV seems to be something really different and seems to be generally well designed (with accoustics in mind), specifically the 2nd model.
Unfortunately the studs with rubber caps don't look to functional/stable, but those I can easily modify myself to make it into something more stable but hopefully without (to much) inpact on the tonality.
So yeah I would be really interested in your experiences!
