Oh no....not another ligature thread.
Like many of you, as I've gotten older, I've become a creature of habit.
For the past decade or so, on one particular mouthpiece, I exclusively used the same Rovner ligature, day in and day out, through countless rehearsals, and concerts. But, I had recently started to notice the sound getting tubby and generally losing color and was wondering why.
Since I was ordering some supplies for my students, I also ordered a few new Rovner ligatures for myself.
The difference between an old heavily used Rovner and the new one was proof enough to make me a believer that over time Rovner ligatures can stretch and become battle worn, needing replacement.
So kids, before sending your entire clarinet in for an overhaul, or replace a barrel, at least for Rovners, a fresh new ligature of the same make/model can often be a very simple and inexpensive fix.
