This material looks cheaper than what they used before. I'm not 100% sure about it, but that's the impression I get. I've been playing for 35 years and haven't used these in the last decade... mostly because they tend to get stretched out over time. Eventually, this ligature conforms to your mouthpiece, but in the beginning, it's a bit awkward to put on. The sound is good. Reeds vibrate freely, but are relatively well secured. It's worth having unless you fiddle with your mouthpiece. In that case, you're running a very high chance it will come loose together with the reed. The last bunch I used got stretched out over time... too short a time for me. I'm going to try this one and see where it goes.

Habe die Blattschraube nun seit einigen Wochen im Einsatz und bin sehr zufrieden, Einfaches festklemmen des Blattes. Die Blattvermittlung ist allerdings etwas, wobei Fingespitzengefühl gefragt ist, daher nur 4 Sterne. Auch das "Umschmiegen" des Mundstückes ist nicht perfekt (Form). Da das Blatt aber sehr gut hält ist das nicht unbedingt ein k.o.-Kriterium

A good value for money product. Thank you! Owen
