※ Please note that the case has been lost, and the item will be shipped with bubble wrap packaging. Purchased from Ishimori Wind Instruments three years ago. I used it with a Wood Stone metal mouthpiece, but I have since switched to a rubber mouthpiece and have not used it since, so I am selling it. The total usage period was about a year. This ligature is one that provides a bright tone among ligatures that are compatible with metal mouthpieces. It holds the reed firmly in place. Recommended for jazz, fusion, and metal players. I used it for jazz. Please note that I have not cleaned any rust or dirt, as I am not a professional. Wood Stone Ligature For alto saxophone metal mouthpieces Gold-plated finish
