I am going to get a new mouthpiece, probably the Selmer C* as that is the best bet. But I want to get a ligature aswell. Do I just get a Rovner Dark Lig, or do I pay a bit extra and get something like a Vandoren Leather lig, or Do I get one of the fancy Hardly any contact ones?? Nat - Come Back  |

Are you planning on going and trying the mouthpiece? if so ask if you can try the ligatures to, see what one you like the best. I have a Selmer C* mouthpiece which is fab, and my ligature is a Vandoren Optimum ligature which is kinda cool as it has interchangable plates for different sounds. But they can be quite expensive (mine was a gift  ). |

No I was just planning on buying without trying, as there is no where close I can go  |

Thats a shame, maybe you could go somewhere over half-term? If not enjoy your window shopping at Sax.co.uk |

I might organise a trip to sax.co.uk, then I can try out saxophones as well  |

 I will be envious, that trip would be so much fun I am hoping to make it down to Howarths at some point before christmas...but sax.co.uk would be sooo much better

I've just bought a new ligature. I got a Rovner Light, and it's great. It's made such a huge difference, and I'm loving the V16 reeds. I tried the ZZ's, which were ok, but not really the sound I'm after. I'm yet to try the java's!!
I'm going to get my parents to buy me a new mouthpiece for my birthday in December. It's the only way I'm goign to be ablet o afford a new one right now!!

I have a Rovner, it rules, get it . I've tried my teachers' BG one and that's great but probably not for you just yet. |

I'm loving the rovner! They don't get bent quite like the metal ones anyway!!! And they're fairly cheap at £18. I thought they'd be more than that

Yeah, the BG is quite expensive if I remember correctly.

I tried a BG for my clarinet before I bought a Rovner for that. I really didn't like it. Maybe it was just a slightly dodgy one, but I could hear buzzing!!! I didn't like ti!
