  • MKIII LIGATURE. Often selected by concert band/orchestra players but is great for a variety of genres and play settings.
  • DARK, WARM AND HEFTY TONE. Similar to the Dark, but responds with a heftier tone. A premium ligature that gives greater weight and tonal substance than either the Light or Dark
  • DURABILITY & LONGEVITY. Rovner's flexible and durable construction ensures ease of installation, a secure & adjustable fit with fastener, and long-lasting performance for all musicians.
  • INCLUDES PROTECTIVE CAP. Protect your ligature with the included plastic cap to safeguard it from elements and damage when you are not using it.
  • COMPATIBILITY & VERSATILITY. We offer a variety of woodwind ligatures to fit various clarinets and saxophones, helping all woodwind players achieve the sound and comfort they are looking for.


The Rovner MKIII is a premium ligature that gives greater weight & substance to the tone as compared to the "Dark" & "Light" models. Rovner ligatures hold the reed to the mouthpiece with no pressure points. Because there are no pressure points or rigid constraints on the reed, the reed seats evenly to the facing of the mouthpiece reducing stuffiness and improving tonal clarity.

ロブナーは、サックスレッスンの先生もお薦めで、最近ではずっと使っています。リードをしっかり安定させ、低音から高音まで出やすいような気がします。

A really superb ligature, this is by far the best one I’ve ever bought!! As I said above, it keeps the reed firmly in place and produces a beautiful rich sound in all registers. There’s much less squeaks too which is absolutely amazing!! I now have them for my clarinet and all my saxophones, and my sound is so much better. A huge improvement in the tone so I’m absolutely delighted!! Thank you so much Amazon!!

Hard to tighten and get just right. Rides a bit high on the mouthpiece. Slides around too much. But, the quality of the make is excellent. Maybe I will get used to it. Takes longer than a standard ligature to attach to the mouthpiece.

My son loves it! He said he could tell an immediate improvement in his sound and ease of play and it’s now his go-to ligature.

I have been playing on this ligature for about 3 months. I really like the way it plays and also holds the reed securely. This is a great product for the price.

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated at mistakes and missing parts from orders I place.The ligature itself is of very good quality and feels as though it will last a long time.On opening the package, the box inside was open and and an insert was missing, not the kind of service I expect, especially when the ligature is an expensive purchase.Customer service from the manufacturer, Rovner, however, is exemplary and a replacement was arranged within minutes.

It was like tap water versus coconut cream. The sound I got instantly, first try, was far more resonant. louder but with creamy tone. Richer and easier to listen to. I haven't even broken it in or experimented with placement yet.I was more in tune, and some notes that were wooly and constrained sounding on my cheap ligature sprang to life and sounded more even and like the others. I was really in shock.While it's probably smart to not get conned into thinking magic gear will Gove you a shortcut to good tone, this still felt like removing an obstacle to my development. I feel like the work I put in is more meaningful and under control.I can only talk about replacing your stock metal ligature that comes with a cheap sax with a Rovner. I dont know much, but im an expert on that already. It's way way better, you will notice. For thirty bucks or so, you'd just better.

This ligature is really good. I started to learn the saxophone in high school and have been playing for about 8 years now. But, in college, I took a 2 year break where I did not pick up my horn to focus on studies. After the 2 years, I decided to try to relearn the sax. Back in highschool, I was playing with a generic metal ligature and mouthpiece so I tried to upgrade. I bought a different $10 cheap, leather ligature off of Amazon and a Meyer sax mouthpiece. The mouthpiece was an improvement but I still had a lot of trouble playing the notes and getting a good sound. At the time, I thought it was because I had lost my playing abilities and blamed it entirely on myself. But, when the cheap ligature broke, I decided to buy a good one. I received this Rovner ligature a few days ago and I immediately noticed the change. Not only do I sound 10x better, but it is easier to get the notes out. I have always had problems with the lower register and I believe it was because of my low-quality mouthpiece and ligature. I realize now just how big of a difference it makes to have a good ligature to complement a good mouthpiece. Now, I just need to upgrade my cheap saxophone.

Bought this after having issues with the original that came with my saxophone. It fit very well and has been a great help to my son that is beginning to play. The screw closure is well constructed and I believe it will hold up for quite some time. As a beginner, he is still mastering the careful touch a reed instrument requires. This ligature has helped reduce the amount of reeds he had gone through after bumping the reed with the metal ligature. It has also improved the tone when he plays. As a former music major, I have noticed fewer issues with his tuning and a improvement on his instrument setup. The diagonal stitching made it easy to show a new student which way it fits on the mouthpiece.
