I'm so glad that my little odd happenstance was able to give someone else a good idea, too! The Optimum ligs, for me at least, play better than any other I've tried, and I especially don't care for fabric ligs on metal mouthpieces.
My Rovner sits in my case for times that I jsut want to play something else, or If I don't want to risk my expensive equipment (I borrow a yamaha 23 for those bar gigs).
My inverted Bonade lig also works great on my Lakey metal tenor piece, and I can barely tell a difference between that and the Optimum (which also fits well), but the Optimum is still a tad brighter.
Of course, you get a lakey playing too bright and you need to repaint the walls...:twisted:
