Re: Vandoren Optimum Ligature Compatibility

You can also stick the mouthpiece patch on the inside of the metal ligature bands (obviously cutting strips to size). I've found this to work well- one time the mouthpiece patch strips came off fairly soon, another time they lasted a year... sorry I didn't make note of what brand mouthpiece patch I was using.
Bay originally marketed his mouthpiece patches with instructions that you could also put them on the top/sides of the mouthpiece to prevent ligature scratches (and "darken" the sound, and that's a topic I don't wish to discuss) and over the years I've encounted one or two people who do this to solve the problem you have.
