Rovner Tenor Sax Eddie Daniels II Ligature and Cap

Rovner ligatures feature a double-textured body with new T-Process polymer impregnation that permits the reed to vibrate more freely than with conventional metal ligatures. Fitted with corrosion-resistant metal fittings, the unique design allows reed to swell and shrink without distorting the reed body, reducing the likelihood of leakage at the facing, and peculiar modes of vibration that give rise to uneven scales, poor intonation, squeaks and raspiness.

The Eddie Daniels II ligature was derived from a collaborative effort of Eddie Daniels and Phil Rovner, yielding a ligature that gives a tone with a very intense focus. This ligature embodies much of the tonal center of a good metal ligature, but with the flexibility and freedom that is the hallmark of Rovner Ligatures. The basis for this improvement is the addition of internal ribbing that floats the ligature body on the mouthpiece; the inclusion of very thin stainless steel rails supporting the reed; new free-floating metal fittings that produce better seating of ligature and reed; and a new Teflon-coated, double-textured ligature body.
