Theo Wanne Mouthpieces and their ligatures

Correct Keith. Hard rubber would not tolerate a built on lig very well. It certainly would warp easier with the least bit of over tightening. Ive seen metal pieces with the mounting holes screwed up fro crsnking down on the liberty lig. Some guys seem to think a lig is a vise.
The Strathon and or Zinner adjustatone Mouthpieces have a slide on ligature somewhat like a Lawton.
It works well and has stood the test of time.
Has far more adjustment forward to back than the TW built in ligature.
So a built in ligature on a HR piece is certainly doable and can also be practical.
 
I’ve always generally preferred Theo’s rubber pieces over his metal for tenor.
But those enlightened things are just rubbish on the pieces they’re designed for.
However I still use them on a couple of baritone pieces I have for which teary are a much better fit.
I no longer have any Wanne pieces apart from a metal Gaia 10 that while I don’t play it often, I do enjoy it when I do.
