In his 75+ years of making music, Phil performed in big bands, night clubs, theatres and in the 29th division military band. He
pursued his love of performance well into his 80’s as a member or sub in several “rehearsal bands” including the Jerry Peterson
Band and the Hank Levy Legacy Big Band.
Although officially “retired” from Rovner Products as of 2014 he was a regular and welcome visitor at the Rovner facility, delighting in the company’s continued growth and success. His goal had always been to provide every type of woodwind player with
powerful, elegant, technically superior accessories that will enhance performance by providing not only accurate intonation and
ease of play, but also the inspiration to push each player to extend his or her performance boundaries.
Phil passed away in 2023, leaving an indelible mark on the global woodwind community. Thanks to his insatiable apetite for
excellence, Rovner® ligatures have been and will continue to be the ligatures of choice for discerning musicians the world over.
