Thanks for sharing this. It’s a beautiful set up you have with my favorite part being the Silverstein Omnipatch—I love those. But of course your mouthpiece and ligature are gorgeous together—and that ASC Borrum piece is top notch.
Ishimori Woodstone Classic for Metal Tenor
Just received this little guy in the mail from Ishimori Woodstone. Had to contact and preorder as its not fully available on the website. This is the #7 size for metal Links and most other pieces, and its made of copper.
I've had quite a few Ishimori ligs, including the standard, Kodama II, and now the classic. This is the first one that looked this good though, check it out:

And here you can see it perfectly fittin on my ASC Borrum! For size reference, I found it a little big on the sides for the Phil Tone Mosaic, and a little small for the Theo Wanne Lakshmi. Can check more mouthpieces later if anyone wants to know more specifics.

Not able to play sax yet, so I'll let you know how that goes later today or tomorrow! Fit is just ever so slightly snug, i think it will be a great match!
And yes, this is the same ligature Chris Potter endorsed in the (most likely forced) video here:
And it should be publicly available on their website soon, but you can still contact them to special order:

It's the perfect combination! Silver and Copper is one of my favorite aesthetics. Oh and the Silverstein patches are my absolute favorite. I'll be using them exclusively, especially on this delightful Borrum (and maybe a second one soon
)That would look good, but nearly as good
Thanks! It is a great combination of designs. I also really dig the screw topper pearl. Tastefulthat ligature is a beautiful fusion of old and new - lust love it. Great images too
I haven't yet had the chance to play. Practice time is in about an hour for me. As to what I've played, recently it's been a Silverstein Hexa lig, before that Vandoren Optimum and Rovner platinum. Also have a metal standard Ishimori two screw for metal links. I'll be sure to let you know if I find this to have any difference in response!
I saw Chris' video last year. I also saw him playing on it (tenor and soprano) live in NYC last Thanksgiving.
I contacted Ishimori. I was ready to pre-order one, till they told me the price. I does look beautiful, I must agree.
