your ligature should'nt really affect how you play. just get a better reed. maybe try a harder one, like 3 1/2? if you are a good player, like you say, you should be able to handle that and play well. and for the spit, before you play just suck it out. or you could just get a new mouth piece. otherwise, just go buy a new ligature at a music store.

and btw, the two pictures are the same

its probably you embrocher.or the way you position your reed.The look of the ligature does not matter

I am a woodwind judge in NY state. YES YES YES you need a better clarinet - a decent brand - Yamaha, Jupiter, or something your band director recommends. I do no think that the Gibson brand of clarinet is the SAME company that makes the guitars - and I and I am amazed that there is not a lawsuit over this.
