Rovner MKIII ligatures are maximum performance types that yield the best response, clearest, brightest sound, and playability of any ligature available. It is a premium ligature designed to assist the player in achieving responsiveness and clarity with a well defined tone. The MKIII stands alone as a professional ligature embodying all of the advancements discovered through Rovner technology. Rovner ligatures also greatly improve reed playability. Reeds that are totally unplayable on other ligatures will often perform well with the Rovner. The ability of the Rovner ligature to extend reed life is unparalleled. More rigid ligatures actually hammer the cane fibers during vibration, eventually destroying the reed's tonal vibrancy - not so with Rovner. Most players find their reeds will play until the tips finally succumb to fatigue and fall apart. Strap fabric ligature supplied with plastic cap.
