I've been annoyed at my Bonade ligature for the last couple of months and while I prefer a Selmer Paris lig and cap I don't have an extra one around at the moment so I slapped on one of the Vandoren Master ligs I have on hand for tonights practice session. I forgot how good these ligatures are at letting the reed vibrate. Easy to adjust as well. My only complaint is that I find that they won't last a lifetime like a good Selmer Paris ligature as the Vandoren Master ligature tends to stretch a bit over time.
