"From my first Rovner ligature as a kid in Canada in 1980 to the Van Gogh that I love today, Rovner products have been on my horns for decades. The Van Gogh is a shocking ligature . . . it has a huge sound, but also offers me tons of flexibility as I move around the horn. I have a steamer trunk of ligatures I have no need for anymore!"
