Got a Morgan Excalibur 8EL, I like it, powerful projection, but I've never bought a high priced MPC that didn't come with a standard lig,,,,,what do you use,,,I have had the best success with a cheap noname two screw. I also used my theo wanne enlightened lig,,it's OK

any ideas :line0::line0::space2::space2::line3::line3::space3::line3::line3::space1::space1::line1::line1::line0:

I just got one of these as well, for tenor. At the moment a Vandoren Masters for alto fits and is doing an OK job. As I dont really have another good alto lig I'll be looking to get either a new one for alto or one for tenor. Failing that I might try a few others.
I'd also be interested to hear what is working for others here.

I have a Morgan Excalibur 9 that I am using a Vandoren Optimum ligature with and it works beautifully. I believe I am using an alto sized one on my Morgan but I am not 100% sure on that.

They run small on the outside diameter...I am using a 'Harrison' Clarinet ligature on a Tenor 'EL' and some kind of a single screw Clarinet ligature on an Alto 'EL'. Raplh put a small piece of paper in the tube with each mouthpiece that had a chart of suggested ligatures. As I recall he seemed to lean towards the use of Rovner ligatures...I have never particulalrly liked Rovner's though so I stick with standard metal type ligatures. Basically, I just went through my shoebox of stuff until I found ligatures that fit well on the two mouthpieces.

Rovner made my 9E noticably muffled. Now using a Vandoren alto Masters with good results.

Most alto ligs will fit the outside diameter of the tenor Excalibur.

Before Ralph passed away, he packed the mouthpieces with Rovener Lights. The Excalibur alto mouthpieces used a clarinet sized ligature.

i am playing an alto 6el and none of my clarinet ligs work on it they are all a bit too big... does anyone know what size FL's work on these?
