The Rovner™ Light Ligature: A Performance-Enhancing “Classic” Model
What is it?
- Permits a reed to vibrate more freely than any other conventional ilgature, whether metal or fabric.
- Significantly improves tone, response and intonation.
- Allows reeds to swell and shrink, without distorting the reed body, reducing the likelihood of leakage at the facing.
- reduces peculiar modes of vibration that give rise to uneven scales, poor intonation, squeaks and raspiness.
- If properly used, will provide greater playing ease, considerably extending reed life and yielding many more playable reeds.
- Is made of the finest materials obtainable.
- “Fabric” body will not stretch or rot and is chemically impervious; metal parts are corrosion-resistant.
Who Plays It?
A variation on the original Dark, the lively Light is ideal for the player seeking a more contemporary sound. For educators who may find the Dark sound too “covered” for their inexperienced players, the Light offers an excellent alternative.
