Ligatures PPT Tenor - best ligature

[jazzdoh]

Just bought on Ebay a PPT Blue Tenor 7* mpc and was wondering what lig some of you used,noticed it has a bit of a taper.
Does the mpc take alto or tenor ligs?

Thanks in advance

I have the tenor onyxite PPT 7* and use a standard tenor rovner cloth type lig. Seems ok to me.

Hi Brian

I use a Faxx slim baritone ligature on my PPT tenor. They're on the store here:
http://tamingthesaxophone.com/store/mouthpieces/ligature-for-ppt-tenor/prod_26.html

Out of stock at the moment, but also available here:
http://www.woodwindandbrass.co.uk/c...xx&PN=baritone_sax_ligatures.html#a1954#a1954

A cap is included with the ligature.

There's a thread discussing PPT tenor ligatures here:

Hope this helps. Enjoy your new mouthpiece!

BG Super Revelation fits nicely too Brian

 

[jazzdoh]

Thanks Andrew,i think i might have one of those somewhere in a draw.

I found the Rovner types that I tried held the reed tightly near the neck, but too loosely near the tip. Best so far is a Marc Jean (or is it Jean Marc?) two screw that I bought from the yard sale. A touch expensive, but fits perfectly.

Thanks Kev,don't have one of those but will look it them.

Brian, I dug the box out. It's Marc Jean, www.musiquedemarc.com

Recommended!

Thanks Kev much appreciated

I really like a Rovner Star. The Marc Jean is terrific but costs a bit more.

 

[jazzdoh]

Thanks Pete hope to get the mpc Tues/Wed,will check the Rovner's out and take a look at the MJ as well.

Thanks all for your replies

Looks like another ebay rip off merchant to me. He's pretty close to the new price on this. And can't even be bothered posting a pic.

Haha, funny if they go the way of the Vandoren blues.

+1 for Marc Jean ligatures, which I have on all instruments (saxes at least). They are hand made in Canada and carry no import charge in UK - cost about £45. Marc is also a really nice bloke!

I really like a Rovner Star.

Didn't try one of those, not sure if they were around when I was looking.

Mpc arrived today,initial thoughts are very good,plays well,good response,intonation fine and have a few ligs that fit,using an alto Rovner EVO-5 with Legere Signature reed.

I like the blue colour,the one on Ebay thats £165 is from a company that regularly marks things up at top end prices,think they might have a problem selling it at that price.

This is my first Pillinger mpc and i am impressed.

Thanks again for your replies
