<\/a><\/p>\nIshimori Woodstone Super Custom Hard Rubber Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n Over the past few months I have heard of Ishimori Woodstone mouthpieces from a number of players on the web. They were all raving about how good these mouthpieces were which really peaked my curiosity. I had a problem though, when I searched around for these mouthpieces I couldn’t find them anywhere except for the Ishimori site in Japan and the whole site was in Japanese (I am not fluent in Japanese).\u00a0 I gave up after that but then a month later I heard another player raving about them again.\u00a0 This time I decided to try contacting Ishimori directly through their website. I sent them an email asking about their mouthpieces and a few days later received a courteous response from Norikiyo Yaguchi who handles Overseas transactions for Mr. Ishimori. He was nice enough to send me 5 mouthpieces to review- 2 alto, 2 tenor and one soprano mouthpiece.<\/p>\n The is a beautiful hard rubber mouthpiece.\u00a0 It has a 6 tip opening.\u00a0 I’m not exactly sure what that measures but it plays like is around a .072-.076 to me. \u00a0 It has a perfect looking facing curve and tip. The baffle is medium and slopes down into the medium chamber.\u00a0 If you look at the baffle from the front it looks to be curved on the sides.\u00a0 Like the baffle is the bottom part of a circle if that helps. The sides of the baffle roll up smoothly into the curved sidewalls.\u00a0 There’s not an edge or flaw anywhere inside the chamber.\u00a0 Everything is smooth and silky.<\/p>\n
