I just replaced my over-stretched metal ligature (that came with my Buffet
clarinet, less than a year old) with a Rovner "Dark" ligature that was
recommended by my teacher. I've been playing for about six years and use a
Vandoren B-45 lyre Profile 88 mouthpiece and size 4 Mitchell Lurie reeds.
Does
anyone have any comments on this brand/model ligature? Thank you,

Jennette...the Rovner is a fine ligature. Be careful how you tighten it,
however. Many people, including myself, have scratches (small gouges,
actually) in the top of the mouthpiece where the screw touches the mouthpiece.
These scratches seem to cause no harm, but you should know about them in
advance.
