I would think that these items would work together like a hand in a glove, but the lig is barely large enough to fit on the mouthpiece when there is a reed in place. It is difficult to adjust the reed, because even when loosened as much as possible, the ligature is fairly tight. I attribute...

Hello fellow cats, Sorry for my ignorance on this matter. I realise that this issue has been discussed a lot in the past but can't seem one that discussed this for the 10mFan pieces. I am enjoying the Robusto a lot and I am using it with the Rovner Star Series for a while. Yesterday I had the...
