Give the Rovner a few weeks until you know what it does to your sound.
Also, reeds that may work on your old metal ligature may not be optimal for
the Rovner. There are many subtleties in regard to placement of the
ligature on the mouthpiece that take awhile to figure, and the fabric
adjusts nicely to the mouthpiece after a short time. It is, for the money,
the best ligature I have tried.

Garden Status: It's too damn cold to plant anything here in Boston, and
there is lead in the soil.
