You forgot the wire coat hanger - and getting Daddy to cut it for you...

Well, you have admire their gall.

And the gullibility of musicians, of course.

Well, $39 is less than most ligatures.
I could be tempted, but I am put off by the "aircraft grade stainless steel lace" claim.

And by the Citroen-dasboard look

So no one's tried a Claude Lakey Compass lig yet? http://www.claudelakey.com/products/compass

Do you suppose it might help me find my place again when I get lost in a piece at orchestra?😉

Looks like a microphone holder and some pushbike brake cable to me .......... Aircraft grade brake cable of course and no doubt stage grade mic holder plastic

All we need is Stephen Howard to do a Head to head between the JamesMac HUGGER and the Claude ~~Butler~~ Lakey Compass ............ My money is on the white plasticene

How could I miss such a masterpiece!
This should be promoted to the level of resource.
Tip No. 2 will make Sequia Saxophone prices skyrocket: they will be more expensive than a basement-found MkVI, but I can apply a good discount.
RRP is £9000 but I can take a used reed as part exchange and give it out for £3000 🙂

what, making a lig that fits a lot of different mouthpieces for £25? Doesn't seem too bad a deal...

Adds, keep your money in your pocket for the moment, I will send you a MacHugger when I get time, could be useful for you in the short term.

I`ve got the Revlight to keep me going so I won`t be off to Halfords or Bikes'r'us to order a "Compass" just yet but with the new Wyvern Universal (Jubilee edition) launch it`ll get interesting on the PPT lig front !

it looked like a white version of Morph from "Vision-on" hugging the PPT Jeanette ........ I`m just glad that Jim resisted the temptation to make a more lurid version !
