I have become a big fan of Rovner "dark" ligatures, and this one from BG is quite similar to them. It manages to keep the reed firmly and is easily put on thanks to its single screw. It is also very cheap compared to some other fancier ligatures. Compared to the Rovner dark, however, I noticed a small defect. The Rovner product has two tiny pieces of leather just below the screw, which avoid that the mouthpiece gets scratched by the the knurling of the screw in case you are using the ligature very opened (e.g. if you have a very large mouthpiece, or if you are adapting an alto lig to a very narrow tenor mouthpiece). Apart from the latter minor point, it works just fine. And the golden screw and logo look pretty!
