The Rovner Dark, Light and Mark III Ligatures
incorporate an old idea for creating natural sound... softly holding the reed
to the mouthpiece with no pressure points, just as if the reed were tied on
with a string. Because there are no pressure points or rigid constraints on the
reed, the reed seats evenly to the facing of the mouthpiece, thereby reducing
stiffness and increasing tonal clarity. These features contribute to the
playing characteristics for which Rovner Ligatures are famous;
even scales, accurate intonation and excellent control. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Rovner Ligatures also greatly improve reed
playability. Reeds which are totally unplayable on other ligatures will often
perform well with the Rovner. The ability of the Rovner
Ligature to extend reed life is unparalleled. More rigid ligatures
actually hammer the cane fibers during vibration, eventually destroying the
reed's tonal vibrancy. Not so with Rovner. Most players find their
reeds will play until the tips finally succumb to fatigue and fall apart! |

Designed in collaboration with
renowned Jazz clarinetist, Eddie Daniels What do you get when you put
two heads, four ears, and twenty fingers together? Musical perfection...
especially when all those assorted body parts belong to two musical geniuses
the likes of Eddie Daniels and Phil Rovner! This collaborative effort has
yielded a ligature that is like no other. For both clarinets and saxophones,
this ligature embodies much of the tonal "center" of a good metal ligature, but
with the flexibility and freedom that are the hallmark of Rovner
Ligatures. Simply put, no other ligature feels this good!
The ED Model offers a great sense of playing confidence derived from the
feeling of complete control and accurate, intensely focused intonation. Great
sonority reigns in the bottom two-thirds of the low register on both clarinet
and saxophone. Notes that normally buzz irritatingly achieve a new level of
tonal purity and roundness. Register breaks, up or down, take place with nearly
the same ease as movement to adjacent notes. Many reeds that wouldn't play are
instantly turned into great performers. The depth of sound of this ligature
reveals how all other ligatures are shallow-sounding
What's the
basis for this giant leap forward in ligature performance?
· Internal ribbing that floats the
ligature body on the mouthpiece
· Very thin stainless steel rails
supporting the reed
· New free-floating metal fittings
that produce better seating of ligature and reed
· A new Polymer-impregnated, double
textured ligature body |
