I think the Rovner is a good lig. I don't play them anymore because I feel the cloth does not support the reed evenly. I played a big band gig with Dave Pietro a few years ago and he informed me that a metal lig will support the reed better applying even pressure, and allowing it to vibrate freely. I have since changed to playing "olegature" it has the same design as the Rovner but with a metal chain link instead of the cloth. All that said, a good lig is important but I find there is not much difference in the oleg, or rovner, compared to a basic lig. Find something that fits the mouthpiece well, is easy to use, and makes you confident in your sound. Tracy

I would say; don't try to hot rod it. Use what comes with it. That's a medium chamber, and I wouldn't want to color that sound. An alto is very pristine and doesn't need much soup like a tenor. The light ligature will jack your low end. Best of luck to you :) Terry

The Myer's I have bought came with a ligature. When it breaks buy a Rovner or what ever.....Kelsey
