Lig for Tenor Link STM NY

asanchez · Jul 7, 2004

The Link STM NY (the recent model) seems to be bigger than the normal STM, and it has a rail on the top that makes it impossibe to use a Selmer lig (like the one use by tenney links-which are STM and not STM NY).

I have been using Oleg and Rovner Eddy Daniels old model. The Oleg is a bit unestable and the Rovner is OK, but only OK.

Does anyone know if the Francloise Louis would fit, and, if yes, which size. I did my homework but could not find an answer to this specific question in previous posts.

Any other recomendations are welcome. I like it on the semi crsipy/spread side, with lots of volume and good for breathy and deep subtoning.

Thanks

Anton

you might want to try a Consoli Ramplig. I have a size C that fits a regular STM, (I don't use it that often so I can't remember how tightly) it might also fit the NY model... Theo at www.mouthpieceheaven.com sells them and would be able to tell you right away if it would fit, he might have some other suggestions as well.

There is a Rovner lig specially made for the NY Link. I used it and liked it.

Selmer 501 ligature - the best lig on an Otto Link STM (no matter what model/vintage), IMHO. It works, it does the job, and it's simple...

Actually, Anton, a Selmer lig made for metal mpcs does work. You just have to stretch it a bit. If you do it right, you can even get a little hump in the top to fit the raised part of the mpc. Ive done it twice successfully and these ligs work well. I put the lig on the mpc with a reed on the mpc so the stretched lig is reed-ready.
