Yep... Other than a Rovner 1MS, are than any choices for a decently priced ligature for my Ria 8* soprano piece? It's kind'a big for a metal soprano mouthpiece but smaller than a HR piece. I'd like something metal if possible. Please help.

Have you considered a sopranino ligature? Selmer makes 'em. DAVE

Rovner's EVO-5 design leaves enough highs to be interesting. There is a lig fitting routine on the Rovner site.

The Selmer lig is a little too small and too long. I have considered the EVO-5 but really wanted a metal lig. I guess I'm just being too picky.

Maybe the ligature that fits Selmer metal soprano mouthpieces would work. I guess you could try and return from WWBW. Sorry, but I hate Rovners, just plain ugly on top of it.

Enviroguy, I've been wondering the same thing myself except I favor non-metal ligs. I have a very old Rovner that fits on it but I don't like its design (I forget the name of the particular model but it didn't last too long on the market back in the day).

Meanwhile I've learned to live with and like the Rovner 1MS that came with it. It's served me fine in many gigs so why change, right? Oh right...GAS.

Oh, I think you can order an Olegature for it if you're really needing metal lig. I forget the size.
