The Rovner Dark 1RL is a textile ligature and mouthpiece cap set designed for standard hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpieces. It's been a go-to choice for saxophone players and music educators since its introduction in 1974 — and for good reason. The soft, flexible body puts less pressure against the reed than a traditional metal ligature, letting it vibrate more freely and producing the kind of warm, centered tone often associated with classic string ligatures.
The ligature body is made from Rovner's proprietary textile material, which is engineered to resist stretching and holds up well against moisture — two things that can quickly wear out lesser ligatures. Corrosion-resistant metal fittings round out the construction. A Rovner plastic mouthpiece cap is included to protect your mouthpiece and reed when you're not playing. The 1RL is made in the USA.
