The letter prefix (on all ligatures except the Dark) indicates the model as follow: L - Light, C - MK III. V - Versa, SS - Star Series, LG - Legacy, X - Versa-X, P - Platinum, VG - Van Gogh. The remaining combinations of numbers and letters indicate the size (for example, P-2R is a Platinum that fits a tenor mouthpiece). More info »

The Rovner™ Dark was a groundbreaker back in 1974, introducing an innovative approach to ligature design. The other Classic models are variations on that extremely successful theme. In 2008, the next wave of Rovner™ innovation entered the scene: patented Mass-Loaded Technology™, which adds mass to the ligature design and/or incorporates Rovner™'s unique Resonating Ribs™. These new features increase performance and offer players many more options for a more "personalized" ligature choice based on their particular needs. Finally, the Next Generation products were engineered to be manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively, resulting in attractively-priced products that can fit most any budget.
When a product is patented, that means it has features and characteristics that arose from original ideas, and that are completely unique to that particular product. If you want Rovner innovation, you'll need to buy a bona fide Rovner ligature!
Rovner™ ligatures are made to last for years, and will not stretch or rot. Eight of the nine models are constructed of a proprietary textile (not leather!) that goes through extensive, multi-step processes and preparation to ensure its durability and to imbue each ligature with energetic response. Rovner™ hardware is engineered to work synergistically with the ligature body, promoting and supporting its characteristics, and is corrosion resistant. Our first all-metal ligature, the Platinum, is constructed of a durable, highly-tempered, space-age metal alloy.
Rovner™ ligatures are shipped with a custom-made, custom-fit Rovner™ cap.
A ligature is a personal choice and there are many players who would benefit from the opportunity to experiment with different ligatures and in different playing situations. We want our customers to be happy! View our Money-Back Trial Guarantee for full details.
