Rovner Versa Slips

Author: kdk ★2017

Quick check on anyone's recent experience:

I've been using a Rovner Versa lately. It seems for me to combine the best features of both metal and cloth.

Except for my seeming inability to move the mouthpiece between A and Bb clarinets without moving the ligature and reed in the process. I *can* tighten it enough to prevent the slippage, but then the feel becomes noticeably less vibrant and the sound more muffled.

If I don't need to change instruments quickly, it doesn't matter, but that's not always the case.

Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution (short of choosing a different ligature, which may turn out to be the answer)? I found a good many previous postings about how much to tighten ligatures but came up with nothing about solving this specific problem.
