Description

The groundbreaking versa-x is for any serious player seeking the ultimate in a high-performance ligature with universal appeal. Its performance-enhancing attributes shine in any musical setting. Classical players most often choose to cover the cradle, but for those times when acoustics are poor, or when the orchestra is overpowering the Soloist, exposing the cradle offers unexpected benefits. Conversely, jazz/rock/blues players performing in amplified settings generally prefer an exposed cradle, but when the setting is intimate or a Ballad is on the Set list, a covered cradle offers added warmth for soulful expression. Finally, the versa-x received a "best tools for schools" Honor at NAMM '12. High School and college-level players are thrilled with the Versa x's ability to take them from the football field to the Concert Hall with a simple flip of the flaps. Features: - Dark, rich, focused, versatile - repositionable flaps and a newly-designed, high-grade metal alloy cradle provide tonal versatility - Our darkest ligature when the flaps are positioned over the cradle - exposing the cradle to the reed adds brilliance and presence while maintaining a rich, centered core - allows the player to explore an enhanced tonal spectrum - incredible Evenness of scale and locked-in intonation - projection and control through every register - flaps may be arranged asymmetrically to accommodate irregular reeds - Includes a Rovner cap - made in the USA!.

  • Love this ligature
Model: Dark (HR): 1RVS
In a rare sober moment, one of my jazz friends recommended this ligature for my Yamaha 4C mouthpiece. I have never been a fan of leather or rubber clamps but this one I like. In my experience, I usually run out of threads before the device runs out of stretch. No so with this Rovner. It actually looks like it was designed to hold a reed on a mouthpiece. Remarkable! I like the way it fits the mouthpiece and how easy it is to position the reed. I like that I feel the vibrations in the horn and not on my teeth. I like that it only cost me about twenty bucks. I highly recommend this ligature. ... show more

  • Rovner is the best.
Model: Versa X (HR): X-1RVS
I will only buy Rovner Versa-X ligatures in the future. In fact, I just bought one for my Cannonball Brute tenor sax. 6 different sound choices makes me a better sounding sax player. The Reed mounting and lockdown is so easy and stable.

  • Works
Model: Dark (HR): 1RVS
I bought this to fit my hard rubber s6 v16 and it fits. Could be a little bigger but it works. Also, might just be placebo but, it makes my mp feel more responsive. Take that with a grain of salt, I'm a beginner to the saxophone.

  • Good quality but does not fit all mouthpieces
Model: Versa X (HR): X-1RVS
Bear in mind that this will not fit all mouthpieces. If you play a Yamaha 4C it works but, if you play a thicker mouthpiece...like a Syos it won't fit properly. The overall quality of the ligature is as goods as other Rovner products. Nothing to complain about there. I did not notice any difference in the sound, volume, or tone when changing between the different configurations ("flip of the flaps") as promoted by Rovner. Overall I am pleased with this product. ... show more

  • The additional tone and sound projection is phenomenal
Model: MKIII (HR): C-1RVS
I Love these ligatures. I can't believe that I've gone without them for so many years. I have slim Jody Jazz metal mouthpieces on my soprano and alto saxes. Some of the Rovner ligatures designed for hard rubber are too big for slim metal mouthpieces. As it turns out the soprano ligature also fits my alto and the alto fits my tenor! This was a great discovery. ... show more

  • It fits
Model: Dark (HR): 1RVS
I have this Rovner ligature on all my saxes and it works every time. I have a million ligatures and most of them don't fit perfectly on any mouthpiece - unless it's the ligature that was made for that mouthpiece. I had to get this one to fit a custom mp from Soprano Planet and for the one day I played before my horn broke, I sounded like a god. ... show more

  • May be too small for your mouthpiece
Model: Dark (HR): 1RVS
I use a Vandoren S8 V16 soprano mouthpiece and this ligature just barely fits. The ends just barely fit over the reed, and the screw actually touches and pushes down on the reed, more than the ends which are supposed to be holding it down. And this is using a thin heeled reed. I can't even use a V21 reed because it's too thick to fit under this ligature. Other than my regret at it's small size, it plays reasonably well and with similar tone and ease of use as my other Rovner ligatures. I use them on my Alto and on my Clarinet as well, and the one screw system makes it easy to swap reeds, and they don't slide up the mouth piece like some metal ligs. ... show more
