This item NOT suitable for metal mouthpieces which are narrower
Phil-Saxman 24.07.2017
I bought this and did not realise that it is not suitable for a metal tenor mouthpiece, it only fits the larger/ wider plastic mouthpieces. So, I have to return it and reorder a different one-very annoying - and I now have to pay postage too.
My suggestion to the usually excellent Thomann team is to change the description- there is no "further information" available and whilst the the packaging tells you it's for plastic mouthpieces this is not visible on the website.
UPDATE- so I then bought the one "suitable for alto/tenor metal mouthpieces". Guess what, it doesn't fit an Ottolink metal, it's too small this time. Again, the information provided by both manufacturer and Thomann's needs to be improved. I can get it to play but it's right at the ned of its adjustment so much so that it's a real problem to get the reed in the right place.
Playing wise- its just "ok", I lose a bit of volume and control and prefer my old setup. Hmm, disappointed on several levels.

Eine Schraube für's Glück
WK78 17.03.2017
Im Lieferumfang meines Sax' war eine Ligatur mit zwei Schrauben, die sich nicht wirklich gut synchronisieren lassen. Die eine zu fest, die andere zu locker, insgesamt zu wenig Feedback, ganz zu schweigen vom eher blechernen Ton - vorbei!
Die Rovner ist sensibel zu bedienen, wiederholt annähernd gleich anzuziehen, ein weicherer, wärmerer Ton.
Da es auf den Ton ankommt, vernachlässige ich das optische Beiwerk: Die Schraube könnte silber sein, die Kappe ist eine Beleidigung für Haptik & Optik.
Dazu dauert es, bis sie Ihre Form angenommen hat. Resultat ist am Anfang Gefuddel, bis das Blatt sitzt.
Aber: Für den eigentlichen Job eindeutig zu empfehlen!
