Re: Rovner ligature 1R Dark vs. 1R Versa

kj2008 - Can you go into more details? Anyway, mouthpieces and reeds are not always flat. They both warp. Yep rubber warps.

I made my ligature, gutting away as much of the weight as possible.

marcia - Nice! It says a lot about the myths of ligatures! I agree that you don't have to spend much.

My favorite ligature is my thumb holding the reed when testing out a reed. They always sound better with a thumb. Has anyone else noticed this? So maybe the reeds need that bit of cushion? I never liked dulling the vibrations of a mouthpiece so I prefer a metal ligature over anything else I've tested. The old Bonade inverted ligatures were what everyone used for years and it's still pretty darn good for $20.
