I play a Keilwerth Toneking Low A baritone sax with a Dukoff M7 mpc.
I like the fat and bright sound.
I only have one problem. The ligature delivered with mpc does not fit well.
Can anybody recommend another ligature.
I heard about the Rovner L14.
Thanks.

Is the lig too loose? If so, line it with felt or thin cork. Start by gluing a thin piece in on the reed plate, and then do the sides if that isn't tight enough. Repair techs can get a Teflon material that would also be good for this. You will be surprised at how much difference a lined, fitted lig makes - seems to smooth out your sound, very much like a Rovner. If you use a Rovner, you may have to use one for a HR alto piece. I use a Rov on my bari HR Berg, and it's for a HR tenor piece.

Use a heater hose clamp!
