Detail 01
Metal tenor mouthpiece fit
Metal mouthpieces have a smaller outside diameter than rubber. A rubber-fit ligature will not close far enough on metal.

RovnerMark III Tenor Saxophone Ligature and Cap C-2M Metal Tenor
Sale
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A tenor saxophone ligature and cap sized for metal mouthpieces. For metal-mouthpiece tenor players who need a replacement or a spare.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tenor players running a metal mouthpiece who need a replacement ligature
- Carrying a backup so a stripped screw does not end a gig
- Replacing a stock ligature that slips under hard blowing
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard rubber tenor mouthpieces — metal bodies are narrower
- Alto or soprano players; this is tenor-sized
- Players chasing a tone change rather than a working clamp
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Tenor saxophone size
Larger than the alto version in the same line. Alto and tenor ligatures are not interchangeable.
Detail 03
C-2M model code
Identifies the tenor metal size within the Mark III range. Use it when reordering to get the same fit.
Detail 04
Cap included
Covers the reed in the case. Metal mouthpieces dent reeds fast without one.
Detail 05
Under $35
Consumable-part pricing. Reasonable to buy two so one lives permanently in the gig bag.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your tenor mouthpiece is metal — the rubber version is a different part
- 02Mouthpiece and reed are not included
- 03Metal mouthpieces vary in diameter by maker; test the fit before a gig
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on a hard rubber tenor mouthpiece?
No. It is built for the narrower diameter of metal tenor mouthpieces. On rubber it will not tighten down far enough to hold the reed.
02Is this the same as the alto version?
No. This is the tenor size, model C-2M. The alto model is a different, smaller part.
03Does a cap come with it?
Yes. Ligature and cap ship together.
04How tight should I set the screw?
Snug enough that the reed will not shift when you push the tip with a thumb. Past that you are damping the reed and losing response.
