I’m happy with both the look and performance of this item.
Wood Stone Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece AM-II SMOOTH
Product Details
This is an AM-II SMOOTH alto saxophone mouthpiece made by Ishimori Wind Instruments. It is made of metal (brass/silver plated), has a medium baffle, and an opening of #6.
Currently, I focus on tenor and baritone saxophone for big band, and I don't play alto except when switching instruments, so I've decided to sell off the accessories.
While I wouldn't say this item is like new, I played it carefully with a patch, so the area where my teeth touch is almost pristine. There is some minor dirt in the engraved grooves and on the exterior, but this has no impact on the tone.
As shown in the photos, the standard ligature and cap are included, but the cap has been significantly cut down from the standard to minimize the area that holds the reed. A Rovner ligature (also modified from a Dark model) is also included. I continued to play both without any particular issues.
The current manufacturer's retail price is ¥55,385 (tax included). I am asking for ¥31,000.
However, the evaluation will be based on whether the product received matches the photos and description. Returns after trial play cannot be accepted, as whether this product suits your preference is a personal matter.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
