Hi all,
I received my Vandoren Optimum ligature today and great news, it fits! There is a little room to the left and right of the reed, I suppose as a means for accommodation for various mouthpieces. However, the face plates secure the reed tightly and the metal back fits nicely around the other side of the mouthpiece.
shmuelyosef, yes I completely agree about the M/O ligatures, I use the M/O series for my soprano saxophone and regret not buying the regular Optimum (I also play on the Vandoren SL3 for soprano sax), but I wanted to try the M/O for a change. The M/O is so frail that I've bent it on several occasions and one of the four plastic plates that cover the tops and bottoms of the tightening columns fell off.. and I'm a very careful person!
