Questions & Answers
The metal mouthpiece won't fit that mouthpiece if it's smaller in diameter than rubber or plastic mouthpieces. Most metal mouthpieces are bigger in diameter than rubber or plastic mouthpieces. The rubber or plastic style mouthpieces are compatible with this ligature.
There shouldn't be any problems for you. It is possible to get a Rovner mouthpiece to fit a fat mouthpiece
The mouthpiece I'm using is new to me Give it a try!
This ligature seems flexible enough to allow it, and I can't see why not. Is it possible that you would benefit from getting a smaller one, such as a clarinet or a Bb soprano sax The tenor sax is smaller than the xaphoon, but I am not sure of the diameter of the xaphoon.
Selected User Reviews For Rovner Tenor Sax Ligature 2R
As a brand new student of the tenor sax, I don't yet have any experience. The fact that something that holds the reed in place makes a difference in the tone and sound of the sax would never have occurred to me. Nevertheless, I made a mistake. I am taking tenor sax lessons on a Buescher five inch tenor sax This ligature looks easy to use and I thought it would be worth a try after seeing it on Amazon. After wearing it, I was amazed at how much difference it made. As soon as I changed my tone, it improved immediately. The convenience of only having to deal with one screw as opposed to two is also appealing to me.
I would not call it bad, but not great either. let me say that I am an absolute newbie. It was during high school that I played saxophone. I'm older now, but have been interested in it again for quite some time. There are two problems with the ligature it did not come with a cap and I had no idea if it was especially dark, bright, or anything like that. As an amateur, I can't tell you if it's particularly bright, dark, or nothing. For an additional $12, I had to order one A 13-dollar bill. I'm not sure why a cap is depicted in the description, but it is. Furthermore, the small pin gets stuck in the threads of the screw when you open the ligature so you can It should pull right off with your finger, but you need to pry it open with your fingers. It is a minor annoyance, and again, not a massive issue. With the drill I opened up the hole a little, and that has helped, but most of it still hangs. I may have to go in and open it up a little more. The overall results are far superior to those of the cheap, double-sided tape That much I can tell you for a fact my saxophone came with a screw ligature. As I was not willing to return it, I just ordered a cap to put on soon as I feel comfortable with the sound, I will probably get a better ligature. But until I can tell the difference in the sound, this one will be good enough until then.
Rovner ligatures are my favorites, and I wanted to love this one as well. I'm unable to use it, due to its size. I am thinking of using the 1RL, which is smaller than this one, but Rovner says this one I am struggling to get the 2R loose enough to fit over my mouthpiece and reed, and the screw keeps falling on the floor when I am trying to loosen it. There is a search underway for a solution to my problems. Additionally, another mouthpiece that it is supposed to fit does not There may be a problem with the fit chart, the manufacturer specifications may have changed in the past, etc. I'm not sure.
I recently purchased this ligature at a local music store as a great upgrade with potential to improve my sound for the tenor sax. In comparison to the old metal ligature I was using in the past, it is much easier to use. It also works well with the new mouthpiece that I recently upgraded to. Also a bonus of the Rovner is that the metal ligature does not scratch or damage the mouthpiece like the old school style metal ligatures. This gave me a much fuller sound and more predictable response after the switch, so I think it would be a good option for new saxophonists.
It's a great instrument I have a similar one for clarinet and love it, so I purchased this one when I started playing tenor sax, too. The rubber not only helps with a warmer sound (more noticeable on clarinet than sax, however), but it also grips the mouthpiece better than metal, so you won't lose control on your instrument if either comes off. There's a teacher of mine who is a high achiever Saxes of an advanced level have also advocated the use of this ligature. Since I need to return my rental sax for a bit because of finances, I am still glad I invested in a mouthpiece for the next time I rent (or get closer to buying one).
These are my favorite single reed tuners. I use them on all of my That way I get the slightly darker tone I like (yeah). It makes a real difference when you use a ligature! It never occurred to me! The vests are lightweight (just 23 grams) and really easy to put on or take Imagine changing the reed of a four-piece instrument) The issue of sound quality is a matter of opinion, and that's mine. One thing everyone will agree on is that they're well made and made out of good materials, and will last a long time if they're not misused.
The difference in holding my reed in place was tremendous when I tightened only one screw instead of two. When I put the mouthpiece on my neck, I can twist it slightly to ensure the reed stays in place even when I twist the mouthpiece a bit. I was very impressed with The smoother sound it gives my sax is one of the reasons I like it. I am getting one for my alto sax as well now.
Advertised as fitting all Tenor sax mouthpieces, the product does not fit all. Fits standard Tenor Sax mouthpieces, but not slim My mistake, I returned it and got a refund, then bought an alto sax and slim tenor.
