Re: Bay Ligatures

The mouthpiece and lig tend to be a component that is most often overlooked...the danger of certain ligatures that are metal is they are prone to coming off during a quick change in orchestra...this alone is one of the reasons I tend to use the Rovner ligature...

As to sound and adjustment the ligatures made of metal can tend to bend and usually play much better than the Rovner with less adjustment pressure. No ligature is perfect, but once will certainly notice they affect response greatly. Add to this the different reed thickness' out there and you really can make matters worse if the metal does not sit well on the reed bark.
