Hello,
this piece is coming next week and i know regular tenor HR ligs don´t work and alto ligs are small for it.
Any idea of what ligature could fit? Now i have a Rovner Versa with me and lot of alto ligs.

I ran a search for you

Today I received my Johannes Gerber Hard Rubber Slant Mouthpiece......I had luck with my ligature....- my Francois Louis ligature just fits...!

I run a search for you

Thanks Milandro,
would that be the regular tenor hr FL ligature?

It’s seems that if a guy is going to make some odd size mouthpiece, and charge a lot of money for it, he could include a cap and ligature that fits.

I asked him, thanks.
A friend here has said to me that FL hr alto ligature is the same size as a tenor L. I have one and i would try it when the piece arrives.
Also there´s a second hand XL one near me for sale.

Gerber mouthpieces are great, and well made.
Definitely worth the asked price.
And you can buy whatever ligatures that fits afterwards.

Wups! It arrived and the Versa works just right!
Seems the same size like my other pieces here, i though it was going to be smaller after reading Steve Neff´s review.

Nope.
Different taper, differente pressure plate and different "smart cap".

The other is the same, but these three details are not.

I got an OctaSupreme... it worked with standard tenor ligatures.

A "L TEN" François Louis will ruin the body... and the lig itself.

Table and facing are beautifully finished so you'll not get any advantage from a FL lig (as long as your reeds have a flat table, not convex).
