Description
Over the past four decades, clarinet and saxophone players have trusted Rovner to provide them with innovative, technologically superior, high-performance ligatures, and woodwind accessories. From the original Dark Model ligature to the patented Next Generation models, Rovner ligatures complete the synergetic circle of the mouthpiece and the reed. Designed with price and performance in mind, the variety of Rovner handmade all-American products are an extraordinary value.
The original Dark Model launched the line of Rovner ligatures in 1974 and introduced an innovative approach to ligature design. It is especially popular among classical players, and despite many imitators, continues to be a best-seller. For decades it has also been the “go-to” ligature for music educators, knowing they can recommend it with complete confidence that a Rovner ligature is just the thing to help developing players move to the next level of performance.
