Ligatures Rovner legacy

[eb424]

I really like these on a tenor otto link.. it makes it brightervand an easier blow. Unfortunately you cant get them anymore. I was wondering if rovner ligs stretch over time or how long they last.

I'm still using the first one I bought in 1978. I did have to replace the screw some years ago because it broke (the old design put the screw in a bending load, the current design does not).

Back in those days they just glued them together and after 10 years or so the glue gave way and I reglued it. Now they stitch them.

I've never seen any evidence of stretching, at least not enough to matter. I have not made precision measurements.

Even if they stretch, I doubt it would matter until a certain point even then it would just turn an alto ligature into a tenor ligature.

The Rovners are still available in the US, for both metal and composite mouthpieces, listing shows 23 for tenor, ones I verified they are in stock, but your Legacy is not listed:

Is there a similar model that could substitute for your Legacy?

Rovner Versa can also be an alternative. Differnt metal inserts and flaps gives me a slighty differnt sound. It's not much .... . I prefer Ed Daniels because it fit the mouthpice fine and holds the reed in a good way. Make sure that it fit the mouthpice perfect.

Hi no the legacy is no more..I have 2 should hopefully last..they just seem to give the mouthpiece a different dynamic projection and ease of blowing wise..
