Does anyone know where I can actually buy one? Have I missed something like them getting discontinued? I really want to buy one, but I haven't found anywhere selling them.
Rovner Deep V - Am I missing something?

I don't know if the Deep V has been discontinued, but that seems to be not quite popular. Just for your information, I have a Rovner Eagle Tenor, refaced by Brian, for sale. http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showth...d-Rovner-Eagle-Mouthpieces-(SAT)-They-Must-Go!
Good luck for your search!

Their entire line of mouthpieces hasn't been made since the late '90s/early '00s (the company itself confirmed this). I've been looking for a big tenor one and a soprano one (my last instructor has THREE of the sopranos!!) for quite a few years now. They're really great when you can get one.
The last time I checked their website, Weiner Music had a few Eagles — a 7 and 9 for alto, a 6 and 7 for tenor, and two sopranos — and a low-baffle Deep-V 7 for tenor. It seems to be the last bastion for them… and it's where I was lucky enough to snag my V alto. Otherwise, eBay or the Marketplace is your best bet; I haven't seen them commercially available for a long time.
An insider friend told me that the company is trying to bring them back, but it's an issue of cutting production costs. The "originals" apparently cost a lot of time and money to form and finish and weren't too in-demand with the public (after all, don't most people still only associate "Rovner" with "ligatures"?), which also might explain the relative rarity of them compared to handmade Guardalas and such.

Weird, if I remember correctly, the insert that came with my ligature that I bought last year showed their line of mouthpieces.
Shame, though, I wanted to try and capture Clarence Clemons' sound.
