Ishimori Wood Stone Alto Saxophone Ligature
Handcrafted with the utmost care in Japan, Wood Stone ligatures allow for the ultimate in resonance. Perfect balance of modern design with the quality of manufacture of the great vintage makers of the past. High quality materials and cutting edge design. A piece of art by master Ishimori, simply a small piece of functional jewellery that makes a difference in its acoustic quality.
The materials and their finishes affect the sound with the following characteristics:
Unlacquered Copper: focused and warm sound.
Unlacquered Brass: sound with a lot of resonance
Gold-plated Brass: powerful and rich in frequencies sound
Pink gold-plated Copper: warm and moderately shimmering sound
Satin gold-plated Brass: voluminous sound with manageable resistance
Solid silver: very rich in frequencies and warm sound
Pink gold-plated Solid Silver: round sound with comfortable resistance
Leading American saxophonist Bob Mintzer says: "The Wood Stone ligature is a simply designed ligature that gives the player optimal reed vibration and a warm, full sound. It holds the reed securely on the mouthpiece and does not restrict the sound in the slightest".
Wood Stone is Ishimoris’ original brand. It comes from Ishimori itself, “ISHI” means “Stone” and “MORI” means “Wood”. “Wood Stone” is the original Brand that Ishimori Wind Instruments Co., Ltd. In Tokyo established to meet variety of player´s needs.
Wood Stone brand was born 24 years ago starting from manufacturing a ligature by Shinji Ishimori, the developer and the craftsman.
The theory of this brand is based on the ideas like “this product would be good” or “this product would be useful”. Ishimori always produces items with such ideas in mind. He wants his brand to meet as many needs as possible. They are going to expand a variety of our products to the world as well as in Japan. Nowadays you can find saxophones (alto and tenor), ligatures, mouthpieces, reeds, sax straps or thumb rests.
Wood Stone products can meet the craftsman ideal only when it is made by hand. In fact, all the screws of their ligatures are hand-made. The hand-made product is not impersonal and not strictly structured like the machine product. Rather it can be flexible and make a flexible curve.
