Some clarifications are in order:
The Ishimori I refer to is a LEATHER pouch. It contains a small 'plate' made of wood that comes in contact with the read.......no bending, there is no metal.
The Siverstein does NOT offer either the acoustics OR the feel of a string ligature. Far from it. It is made of some high tech cabling. It sounds more like a super resonant Optimum, or a Vandoren Leather with the Metal plate, or the high end leather/metal BGs, or the LEATHER Ishimori to which I referred (that is NOT metal). My problem is with the screw on the TOP. You have to consciously turn your clarinet to remove the reed, or put it on (I know a stupid point but it makes a difference to me). Storage in the case is difficult because you have to turn the mouthpiece one way or the other so the big screw fits, but then it almost (or actually does) rub against the keywork of one joint of the clarinet or another. It's almost as if the Silverstein violates some sort of basic 'convenience' factor.....it goes just a bit too far from convenient. Also I don't know what will happen when the little rubber feet that actually touch the top of the mouthpiece wear down.
