Ishimori WoodStone Kodama ii ligature maintenance

Author: Naum  Date:   2018-01-17 22:14 Hello I have recently purchased one of my grail accesories, the woodstone kodama 2 by a Japanese company named Ishimori It is a leather ligature with a Granadilla plate fixed where the reed is held. It is quite a pricey ligature and I try to and want to maintain it properly so that it will serve it's purpose for years to come. I try to fasten the ligature by screwing very gently, not too tight, just tight enough to hold the reed properly. My concern is the Granadilla plate. It's basically a wood and it must be sensitive to temperature and humidity. I am worried that the plate will crack because of poor maintenance. I don't oil my clarinet as I don't want the oil to stick on pads. But for this case, is oiling a good idea? Or is there any better idea? Have a nice day cla fam Naum 8
