So Eddie Daniels plays jazz and classical music.
So hes got a nifty looking ligature from Rovner.
So this ligature would be perfect for both jazz and classical music?
So am I delusional?

Well I have the ligature, and I prefer it to any others I've tried.
It has 2 plates. One is bright for jazz, and the other helps produce a darker sound for classical music. You can also take out the plates and use it without either for the basic properties of the regular Rovner.
It also has flaps that help to change the sound according to how want it, and it helps with tuning. I dont really mess with the flaps to much, because I find that just leaving it with the flaps tucked away is most effective for my particular needs.
Hope I was of help.

I have this ligature, too. I haven't had time to play with it much yet. I have been using it with the thicker plate, because I play almost exclusively classical. Perhaps for outdoor band this summer, I will try the thin plate. I also have a Rovner dark and I really like it.

I used to use it. Still have it, but prefer the Optimum!

I play on one. Like it better than the plain Rovner or any of the standard metal ones I've tried. ( Haven't tried the Optimum.)
Although I like the ligature, no one has mistaken me for Eddie Daniels yet.

I think it is definetly worth more than its price at WWBW. Its almost half the price of the Optimum, and I think it out performs it personally. I dont think you can ever beat Bonade when it comes to getting value for you money in the ligature business, but I prefer the ED II Signature over any others that I've tried so far, including the Optimum with all three plates, the Bonades, and the Ultimate Ligature with that wire frame.

Like anything, you have to try it. I have colleagues who like it. I tried it and didn't like it at all.

Hi,
I use an Eddie Daniels on tenor with a Guy Hawkins metal mouthpiece. The ligature is the one with all the adjustable plates. However, last night I did a local symphony pops concert in the sax section for a county star's portion and instead of using the ED, I chose a standard ligature that seems to always play very well.
Why, because the ED makes it a bit tricky to get the reed just right and there were several times when I had as much as 15 minutes between charts that included the saxes. The reed had a tendency to dry out and needed to be re-moistened twice. I did not want to screw about with a stubborn ligature right in the middle of the show.
