V16 & Optimum Ligature problem

[MB-913]

I've a Vandoren V-16 tenor metal mouthpiece (T-75), two Optimum Ligature - one alto and one soprano (both are gold version).

I saw some players in this forum, they use Optimum Ligature for their V-16 tenor MP. However, both of my Optimum Lig is too large for my V-16. Soprano Optimum is too small but alto Optimum is too large. I wonder how can a Optimum Ligature fit for the V-16 ? Does Optimum has different size even for tenor? Any idea?

MB, there is a special V16 ligature. It even has a V16 cut out on the side, so it's hard to miss. The V16 Optimum also fits a Link STM.

Special V16 ligature? Is it look like thier offical site, the silver plated Optimum lig ?

Beside V-16 & Metal Link, what other tenor MP it can fit ? Can it fit a ESP as well ?
