Re: slippery rovner?

Rough up the inside surface of the Rovner with fairly aggressive sandpaper -- say 320 or 240. Don't take too much off. You might also rough up the top of the mouthpiece.

Rovner's instructions say to tighten the ligature up only until it doesn't leak. I think I get better results from tightening it up snug and then loosening the screw 1/4 turn.

Another solution is to attach a strip of sandpaper with Superglue to the top of the mouthpiece or the top inside of the ligature.

If you're using a Legere, peel the label off the "bark" area.
