This is a used alto saxophone ligature, HIBIKI, handmade by saxophonist Yuwa Hayashida. This ligature is made of brass with a gold-plated (GP) finish. According to the maker, it has a silver plating underneath the 24K gold plating. I purchased this after selecting it from several at a musical instrument store in Tokyo. It has a brilliant tone and is very easy to play. Although it is a used item, the plating is in good condition. The items included are the ligature itself and the original box. It will be packed with air cushion and shipped via Takkyubin Compact. Please purchase this item if you understand that it is a used item and are satisfied with the current condition. New retail price: 39,380 yen (tax included)
