What are some good ligatures for this mouthpiece? Thanks.

Rovner Versa works very well.

Don't take my word for it, by the way.
These guys have several recommendations:

Which of the six configurations do you like?

When Jody Jazz sent me a replacement DVNY, it came with this rovner: https://www.rovnerproducts.com/star-series-ligature

I like it a lot. I use it with the bars on the reed.

I also have the JJ power ring, as well as the Ricoh H. Both are OK, but I like the rovner best on the DVNY.

The one pictured, without any fabric flaps between the metal and the reed, and with the "slab" insert in place. Can't say I have spent a lot of effort experimenting back and forth, but this works well, secures the reed and seems the least fiddly. YMMV, I suppose.

I prefer the Versa over the Star series which came with the piece, but I haven't tried the Star with bars on the reed. I had the Versa already, so I pulled that over from my Berg and found that to do the trick for me.

I've been using the lig that comes with a Yani metal tenor piece on my DV Chi for about 10 years. Unfortunately these aren't easy to get anymore. I bought a few of them several years ago for about $35 each but I don't know if you can order them separately anymore. I don't care for fabric ligatures and like two screw metal ligs so if I were looking now I'd probably look for an Ishimori or maybe one of those Eastern Music knock-offs or something like that.

Jay Metcalf recently play-tested four JJ tenor metal pieces and was using the Rovner Platinum Gold ligature on each piece -

If you look closely he's using the standard (silver-colored) Platinum on the Chi! Maybe because the gold doesn't match the color of the Chi.
